PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an airport surface collision avoidance system (ASCAS) that prevents an aircraft moving on an airport surface from colliding with an obstacle.SOLUTION: A system includes sensors 26 (e.g., radar) at light modules 30 about an aircraft 20 with user interface devices 44, 46, 48 (UI devices) located with airport ground personnel and in the cockpit of the aircraft. The UI devices provide some or all or functions such as the detection and tracking of an obstacle, the estimation of threat, and the determination of operation based on information from the sensors 26. Once an alert related to detection occurs, the operation is manually executed by a pilot or a tag driver, or in a towing state, the operation is automatically executed by an automation system (for example, autobrakes). |
