What are the reasons to introduce A-SMGCS? The situation of today s air traffic can be seen as follows: Number of take-offs and landings has increased more than threefold since 1990 Jams and the resultant delays are increasing in the air and on the ground Increased waiting times Extended blocking of parking positions and gates Reduced efficiency due to the worsening of the fleet turn-round Unnecessary fuel consumption Extended environmental pollution Increased number of dangerous situations on the ground HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 4

Concept of complete operational A-SMGCS 2 A-SMGCS Definition according to ICAO A-SMGCS is a system that provides routing, guidance and surveillance for the control of aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the aerodrome visibility operational level while maintaining the required level of safety A-SMGCS is more than just surveillance HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 6

Runway Functions Runway protection Time to touch down in an Impending Arrival arrow Automatically switching on and locking of runway stop bars 30 sec before touch down Show runway as occupied Automatically switch off stop bars behind landing aircraft Automatically switch off all stop bars, if aircraft slower than 80km/h Show runway protection in a video scene HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 17
Stopbar Control Functionalities Stop bar control Manual switching Pointing to a stop bar symbol and double click with left mouse button Show manual switching in a video scene Smart runway protection Automatically switch on runway stop bar in front of aircraft for line up or crossing runway Show smart runway protection in a video scene HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 18
Taxiway Functions Intersection protection All stop bars for an intersection are switched on automatically exept for the entry stop bar Show intersection protection in a video scene Show intersection protection under weather condition CAT II/III in a video scene Intersection protection with crossing aircrafts. Normal strategy: first come, first serve. But intersection entries without stop bars have priority. Show intersection protection with crossing aircrafts in a video scene Show intersection protection with crossing aircrafts under weather condition CAT II/III in a video scene HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL - FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 19
Taxiway functions (cont.) Aircraft separation (blocking) under CAT II/III Under weather condition CAT II/III there is always one switched on stop bar between two aircrafts Show aircraft separation under CAT II/III in a video scene Taxiing with Guidance by TXC and STB; Fog
Individual Routing Automatic Individual Routing An optimal route (with relation to distance) is shown for each individual aircraft which has a stand or runway as destination On a landing aircraft the runway exits are switched on into the direction of the destination The route for each pilot is displayed with taxiway center line lights The route ends at a switched on stop bar, an aircraft which drives in front, at the border of an area of responsibility, at the destination Show automatic individual routing in a video scene If a pilot leaves his assigned route a route deviation alert is generated and as soon as possible a new optimal route is calculated and displayed to the pilot Show route deviation in a video scene
Individual Routing (cont.) Preferred Routes Sometimes the optimal route (the shortest route) is not what the controller want to have. He wants routes which be aware of runway direction, CAT condition or in- outbound traffic The GTM system can be guided to consider previously defined routes for that situations in computation individual routes, named preferred routes Show how preferred routes are build and how they affect individual routing in a video scene
Individual Routing (cont.) What if an aircraft has no assigned destination If a landing airfraft has no assigned destination all runway exits are switched on A destination can be assigned to an aircraft with flight strip management function All aircrafts are listed in the inbound or outbound flight strip management windows At the flight strip of an aircraft the controller can assign or correct the destination (a stand or a line up position of a runway) The destination is assigned to the aircraft immediately and an individual route is computed and displayed Show how the assignment of a destination is done and the new individual route is displayed in a video scene
Individual Routing (cont.) Manual correction of an individual route Manual correction of an individual route is started over a context menu of an aircraft With drag & drop function routing points of an individual route can be moved to correct the route Clicking a moved routing point will delete that point again Manual correction of an individual route is ended either with a double click on an unused routing point or over the context menu Show manual correction of an individual route on a video scene
Individual Routes (cont.) Individual routes consider restricted areas Show how restricted areas are considered by individual routes in a video scene Taxiing with Guidance by TXC
Collective routing A collective route is build for a lot of aircrafts and displayed through the taxiway center line lights A temporary route is build only for one usage. After switching it off it areased. Show how a temporary route is build and switched in a video scene A permanent route can be build an later on it can be called for switching Show how a permanent route is build and switched in a video scene A route package are a lot of routes which are combined to switch them simutanesly Show how a route package is build and switched in a video scene
