2. 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

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

4. 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”

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

6. 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

7. Situational Awareness Insert Cartoon

8. Where am I? SB3 SB6 SB4 SB2 SB1

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

10. Incursion Management

12. Low-Vis Navigation

13. 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!

15. Integration with ATC* Systems

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

17. Low Cost Ground Surveillance?

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

19. 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

20. 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?

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

22. Integration with other systems ATC Friction devices FOD detection Vehicle smoke alarms Swipe cards o Training reqt’s Alert! Paul is not qualified to operate this vehicle

23. Not sure how we can help here?
