Recent advances in automated driving technology have captured the imagination of our society through improvements in safety, ease and accessibility of transportation, and efficiency.�Though these technologies offer significant benefits in the future, many advanced ground vehicle technologies (AGVT) implemented on roadways have not yet been applied to airside operations.�� AGVT airside operations may include driver assistance and automatic collision avoidance, connected vehicle applications, and driving automation.
�
The benefits of AGVT center on increased safety, efficiency, security, service, and reduced costs. As AGVT technology improves, the opportunity to enhance existing operations will emerge, as will new applications. �A current example has been the deployment of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data to provide airside situational awareness.�These capabilities can be enhanced with geo-fencing to trigger driver notifications or automatic braking for runway incursion avoidance.
�
Limited research has been done in the area of AGVT for airport applications or how airports can begin to prepare for their integration.�
�
The objective of this research is to prepare a report that identifies and evaluates advanced ground vehicle technology applications for airside operations at airports.� |
