摘要：	Runway incursions are a leading cause of airport ground accidents and usually result from the presence of unauthorized ground vehicles within the active runway area. In many cases, air traffic control personnel can become confused by the numerous flashing lights and various colors of lights on vehicles operating on the airport and because of this, are unable to distinguish which vehicles are on the runway and which are on a parallel taxiway or holding short of the runway. The purpose of this evaluation was to determine the feasibility of equipping airport ground vehicles with supplemental warning beacons that would be illuminated only when the vehicle was on an active runway, thus providing a visual cue to eliminate any confusion in regards to the location of the vehicle. The objective of the research was to evaluate the various beacon features available, such as beacon colors, flash patterns, flash speeds, or beacon separation distances, to determine if there was a particular combination that would make the beacon unique enough to be used for this purpose.
