Demonstration ofRunway Status Lights at Logan Airport
III Lincoln Laboratory has developed a prototype runway-status light system (RSLS), designed to prevent runway incursions and accidents. These status lights will tell aircraft pilots and surface-vehicle operators when runways are unsafe to enter or unsafe for departure. This status information will improve the situational awareness of pilots and vehicle operators, thereby reducing the number of...
متن کاملPerformance ofthe Runway-Status Light System at Logan Airport
.. Runway incursions are a persistent problem in airport ground-movement operations. Numerous critical conflicts and several fatal accidents have occurred as a result of unauthorized or otherwise inappropriate entry of aircra& or surface vehicles onto an active runway. Many of these conflicts developed quickly, leaving little time for effective intervention by either the controller or the pilot...

متن کاملA Multi-Modal Unscented Kalman Filter for Inference of Aircraft Position and Taxi Mode from Surface Surveillance Data
We describe a multi-modal unscented Kalman filter developed for estimation of aircraft position, velocity and heading from noisy surface surveillance data. The raw data is composed of tracks generated by the Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model-X at Boston Logan International Airport, and is obtained from the Runway Status Lights system. The multi-modal filter formulation facilitates esti...
متن کاملRunway incursion alert using knowledge rules
A runway incursion is a situation where two or more aircraft or vehicles occupy one runway simultaneously and as such create a potentially dangerous situation. We can think of many situations where two aircraft/vehicles occupy the same runway simultaneously, but do not cause a conflicting situation, e.g. two taxiing aircraft on a closed runway or a departing aircraft lining up behind a landing ...
