Abstract
Today, the congestion of aircraft in the important airports is a serious problem, and equipment for decreasing the task load of tower controllers is required. Then, we develop a method for using the conventional SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar) system as a sensor for identifying aircraft on the surface of the airport and for measuring their positions. In this paper the results of the simulation for estimating the performance of the method are described. From the results more than 95% of aircraft were identified under the condition that three replies were garbled, and the positions of identified aircraft were calculated within the error of several tens of meters (〜50m) for about 90% of cases. The possibility of realizing a new airport surface surveillance system based on SSR is shown.
