A system for the remote activation and operation of access control or reading of navigational guidance equipment located at a distant facility such as an aerodrome or harbour by means of radio. The invention allows the operator of a vessel or vehicle approaching the facility to initiate the activation of, and to control, access control or interrogate navigational guidance equipment such as lighting through operator-initiated, facility-specific, radio transmitted voice commands which are recognized and translated into an electronic control signal by a speech recognition device. The signal in turn actuates the equipment which the command has designated. The invention also provides means for synthesizing verbal responses to the operator to provide feedback concerning the status of the operator's command. The invention also includes interfacing means for presenting both an electronic control signal to the selected facility equipment and verbal response or acknowledgement to the operator. |
