Development of an Airport Ground Vehicle Runway Incursion Warning System

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to assess ways to prevent runway incursions and other airport operational incursions, especially during ground vehicle operations at airport. The FAA Airport Technology Research and Development Team conducted research for the development of an airport ground vehicle runway incursion warning system. The objectives were to evaluate navigation devices and their technology for use in airport vehicles to prevent airport incursions, provide recommendations for criteria for the design and operation of a system defining both minimum and optimal features, and provide cost estimates for the procurement of the equipment.
