AIRPORT GUIDANCE SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR AIRPORT SURFACE MOVEMENT GUIDANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an airport surface movement guidance and control system (SMGCS) involving detection, integrated processing and graphic representation of the relevant, in particular with respect to safety, positions and movements of aeroplanes and, optionally, vehicles on the runway, taxiways and the apron and in the relevant control zone (CTR), detection being performed by at least one radar in the period between flight movement and stopping in the parking position. The relevant data, which are concentrated, are shown on a monitor of at least one controller in the form of an image and/or characters or numbers so that operational guidance of surface movement can be prepared and performed.
