Abstract (en)
An airport incursion avoidance sy stem for detection of aircraft and other vehicles utilizes edge lights [20] along taxiways and runways by having a sensor [50] co-located with each edge light, the sensor output being coupled to a central computer system [12] via the airport's edge light power lines [21]. The detection system comprises infrared sensors. The output of each sensor [50] is fed into a microprocessor [44] within an edge light assembly [20] and then to a power line modem [54] for transmission to the central computer system [12] which includes a display [30] at the airport tower for showing the airport and all traffic thereon. Data from each sensor [50] along taxiways and runways is received at the central computer system [12] and processed to provide vehicle tracking and control of all ground traffic on the airport taxiways and runways to avoid an airport incursion. <IMAGE>
