Layoutplan Rwy/twy lighting in the ATC and Apron
Tower at Cat II / III beginning at RWR 600m -
Here Touchdown lighting 25R and 25L on - PAPI
out - TWY-CL lighting on - Stopbars and No
Entrees automatically on - additionally
through bottom ALL STB and selectively
on/off - when selectively STB off, -after
30 sec. automatically on - failure of 1/3 or
more of one Stopbar will be made visual by
blinking of that STB.

Explanationto fix a target via
Multilateration-Systems this target must be
identified by at least three receivers
simultaneously. The accuracy of the target
position is mainly dependent of the accurate
receiver position and the geometrical
configuration of the receivers (angle
equation).To compensate a loss of one receiver
the target has to be identified in normal
conditions by al least 4 receivers
(redundancy).The target location will be measured
through the different signal time frames. (TOA
time difference of arrival).

TACSYS - Reasons for the Development

• Safe Surface Movement Guidance
• Complete coverage of all relevant airport areas
• Clear and reliable detection and identification
  of all aircraft and vehicles on the apron and
  movement area
• Safe, orderly and effective management of ground
  traffic in adverse weather conditions
• Fast and safe Emergency Operations
• Increasing traffic at major hub-airports
  seriously interferes with the operation of
  safety-relevant vehicles
• Regulations for fire-fighting and rescue
  operations in adverse weather conditions will be
  tightened (ICAO, Annex 14)

22
TACSYS / ETNA - Operational Aspects

• Onboard Safety and Ground Movement Safety
• All ETNA-vehicles are equipped with a multitude
  of precise and reliable positioning sensors, an
  accurate and up-to-date database and a fault
  tolerant navigation software
• All relevant information is directly displayed to
  the driver to reduce response times e.g. for
  fire-fighting and rescue vehicles in all weather
  conditions
• The positions of ETNA-vehicles are displayed on a
  control station where information on tasks,
  routing and obstacles is transmitted
• Vehicle positions inside the movement area can be
  displayed on ramp control tower together with
  aircraft information

TACSYS / ETNA - System Infrastructure

• Infrastructure needed
• Communications system for digital datalink to
  vehicles
• Geographical Airport Database (including update
  procedure)
• D-GPS reference station

25
TACSYS / ETNA - Project Status and Future Tasks

• ETNA - Status Quo
• Evaluation Phase (ETNA I) successfully completed
  in 05/2001 Management decision to continue the
  development (ETNA II)
• ETNA II, Workpackage 1 completed in 12/2001 -
  Further tests and evaluation of ETNA I
  prototype- Compilation of Requirements Document
  for Workpackages 2-5
• ETNA - Major Tasks for WP2 (12/01 - 11/02)
• Development and redesign of basic systems for
  onboard data processing unit, Master Control
  Station and Vehicle Information System (central
  data processing unit including communications
  interface)
• Development of low-cost navigation unit (class
  II) based on D-GPS in combination with software
  filters and additional low cost onboard sensors
• Integration of communications system and overall
  system tests
• In Mid 2003 an ETNA - Pre-Series System will be
  operational at FRA

26
ConclusionsThe actual RWY/TXY system at
Frankfurt Airport is in respect to Runway
incursions is safe and needs not to be
upgraded.The future system of Capts/Tacsys/Etna
will ensure that when traffic volume and airport
infrastructure will rise the runway incursions
will be of no significant matter.
