Presentation Transcript

  1. GPS, GIS & Wireless Technologies for effectively supporting airfield safety including incursion reduction Paul Cudmore Eagle Integrated Solutions 2010 FAA Worldwide Technology Transfer Conference Atlantic City, New Jersey

  2. For today…….. • Background Information: GPS/GIS technologies • Overview of current solutions being used by Airfields to improve safety • Future Developments • Questions and Discussion

  3. Global Positioning System (GPS) “A satellite based navigation system that allows users to determine their location, direction the time/date and their velocity 24 hours a day in any weather condition”

  4. Geographic Information System “A Geographic Information System is designed to display data referenced by spatial or geographic coordinates.”

  5. GPS/GIS based Airfield Safety related Solutions Situational Awareness • Where am I? • What’s been done? • Incursion Management • Navigation/Incident location • FOD detection and recovery • Data Integration

  6. Situational Awareness Insert Cartoon

  7. SB3 SB6 SB4 SB2 SB1 Where am I?

  8. Storm Over (Slow fading trail) • Illustrating where vehicles have been, and what they’ve been doing Storm Continuing (trail fades faster)_

  9. Incursion Management

  10. Low-Vis Navigation

  11. FOD Detection and Removal • Radar based systems now picking up FOD with excellent accuracy & precision • A GPS coordinate is generated & is used to locate the FOD • A “route” is created and staff can do the pick-up right away!

  12. Integration with ATC* Systems

  13. Wireless Communications if needed Repeater Point to Point link BASE

  14. Low Cost Ground Surveillance?

  15. Some Future Developments • Non Wireless systems • Zone in front of vehicle • Tone warnings vs. Voice Warnings • Integration with other systems

  16. Non-wireless solutions • Zones and alerts preloaded on vehicle system from base computer • Can be handed out upon entry to the airfield • Provides alerts to operator based on settings • Vehicle usage/data stored • Wireless link can be added later

  17. Zone in front of vehicle(s) • Accommodates the GPS lag factor • Vehicle travels 59ft/s at 40 mph • Size and shape scalable based on speed • Maximum zone size?

  18. Tone warnings vs. Voice warnings Human factors exercise……….

  19. Integration with other systems • ATC • Friction devices • FOD detection • Vehicle smoke alarms • Swipe cards • Trainingreqt’s Alert! Paul is not qualified to operate this vehicle

  20. Not sure how we can help here?
