The Challenges:

Increasing Runway Incursions

Our clients, Doncaster Sheffield and Durham Tees Valley Airports had seen an increase in air traffic leading to serious runway incursions causing significant loss of life. Worldwide safety and regulation bodies are working hard to see this trend reversed.

The Approach:

Our Award-Winning Solution

Simplytrak analysed the behaviour, communication and interaction between pilots, air traffic controllers, vehicle operators and people working on an airfield. Based on the behavioural and communicative weaknesses and opportunities we identified, we developed AIM: Airside Incursion Mitigation, our award-winning solution to help prevent vehicle runway incursions.

The Solution:

AIM: Airside Incursion Mitigation

This affordable solution is installed in all airside vehicles and requires no external communications to alert drivers to potential incursion risks.

Bespoke to each airport layout, the system includes visible and audible in-cab warnings and switches automatically to the new incursion boundaries in case of LVP. This effectively eliminates risk of incursions whatever the weather or light conditions.

Air Traffic Control can also visually view the actual locations of airside vehicles. This eliminates risk of poor-quality radio communication or drivers mistakenly reporting that they are in the wrong location when seeking permission to proceed. Included software covers many airport compliance requirements and contains a full suite of reports, alarms and alerts to highlight potentially dangerous activity.

This allows compliance officers and the tower to ensure safe operation of all airside vehicles 100% of the time.
