In 2015 only, more than 1,500 runway incursions (RIs) occurred at US airports, which could result in serious runway collisions. The evaluation showed that our system is effective at providing earlier prediction of incidents than current systems, giving explicit instructions and/or suggestions for handling the incidents effectively, and customizing for specific policies and airports using flexible model. To evaluate our system, we built a simulation system, and evaluated our system using both real historical scenarios and conventional fictional scenarios. The features of the system include long-range prediction of incidents, explicit instructions and/or suggestions, and flexible model for different policies and airports. The system predicts and detects runway incursions, then gives explicit instructions and/or suggestions to pilots/drivers to avoid runway incursions/collisions. In order to remove human factors from the system operation loop as much as possible, this paper proposes a new type of runway incursion prevention system based on logic-based reasoning. In one word, human still plays an important position in current runway incursion prevention systems.
RUNWAY INCURSION HOW TO
Although current runway incursion prevention systems have made big progress on how to obtain accurate and sufficient information of aircraft/vehicles, they cannot predict and detect runway incursions as early as experienced air traffic controllers by using the same surveillance information, and cannot give explicit instructions and/or suggestions to prevent runway incursions like real air traffic controllers either. Due to all causes of runway incursions belong to human factors, runway incursion prevention systems should remove human from the system operation loop as much as possible. The concept may be easily extended for more realistic runway-taxiway configurations.Īvoiding runway incursions is a significant challenge and a top priority in aviation. The 'securing' of the runway is done based on an evaluation of the current traffic scenario and uses a simple logic. The system `secures' the runway before any takeoff /landing/crossing operations are to be cleared by the controller. It also addresses some of the shortcomings of the earlier approaches. We propose a new pseudo-series system architecture that not only provides the pilot/driver with an independent source of direct information for operations on/across the runway, but also keeps the controller in the loop so as to significantly reduce the chances of an operationalĮrror. The existing approaches to the problem are looked into. The paper looks at some system architectures that may be used to prevent/reduce runway Despite being on the NTSB's 'Most Wanted' list of desired safety improvements for over a decade now, it remains a persistent issue. Preventing runway incursions and conflicts is amongst the most critical problems in airport ground movement operations.
