Abstract :
Describes the initial test results of PathProx - a runway incursion alerting system, intended to help minimize the number of runway incursions and provide conflict alerts for all aircraft and vehicles on the airport surface. Rannoch Corporation is the developer of PathProx, an avionics system designed to provide timely alerts directly to the pilot. The test results presented in this paper are primarily based on testing accomplished at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in October 2000, as part of the NASA Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) tests
