Abstract :
Two studies are being conducted to address airport surface movement area safety and capacity issues by providing enhanced situational awareness information to pilots. One study focuses on obtaining pilot opinion of the Runway Status Light System (RSLS). This system has been designed to reduce the likelihood of runway incursions by informing pilots when a runway is occupied. The second study is a night demonstration of an integrated system consisting of an electronic moving map in the cockpit and display of the aircraft identification to the controller. Taxi route and hold bar clearances, positions of other traffic, and warning information will be sent to the aircraft via data link for display on the electronic moving map. This paper describes the plans for the two studies
