Honeywell’s technology is used to produce more than 60% of the world’s gasoline, 67% of the world’s paraxylene (a precursor for polyester), and 85% of the world’s biodegradable detergents.

Honeywell pioneered automotive turbocharging 60 years ago and remains the industry leader launching, on average, 100 new turbo applications globally each year.

What are the reasons to introduce A-SMGCS ?

The situation of today’s air traffic can be seen as follows:

�Number of take-offs and landings has increased more than threefold since

1990

�Jams and the resultant delays are increasing in the air and on the ground

�Increased waiting times


�Increased waiting times

�Extended blocking of parking positions and gates

�Reduced efficiency due to the worsening of the fleet turn-round

�Unnecessary fuel consumption

�Extended environmental pollution

�Increased number of dangerous situations on the ground

Concept of complete operational A-SMGCS

Improved procedures on the ground can reduce the

mentioned drawbacks

�A ground surveillance radar

�A modern airfield lighting system


�A modern airfield lighting system

�A state-of-the-art AFL Control and Monitoring System

�Single Lamp Control & Monitoring System (SLCM)

�A Visual Docking Guidance System

Concept of complete operational A-SMGCS

A-SMGCS Definition according to ICAO2

A-SMGCS is a system that provides routing, guidance and surveillance for the control of aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the


aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the aerodrome

visibility operational level while maintaining the required level of safety

A-SMGCS is more than just surveillance

Taxiway functions (cont.)

• Aircraft separation (blocking) under CAT II/III

• Under weather condition CAT II/III there is always one switched on stop bar between two aircrafts

Taxiing with Guidance by TXC and STB; Fog

Individual Routing

• Automatic Individual Routing

• An optimal route (with relation to distance) is shown for each individual aircraft which has a stand or runway as destination

• On a landing aircraft the runway exits are switched on into the direction of the destination

• The route for each pilot is displayed with taxiway center line lights• The route for each pilot is displayed with taxiway center line lights

• The route ends at a switched on stop bar, an aircraft which drives in front, at the border of an area of responsibility, at the destination

– Show automatic individual routing in a video scene

• If a pilot leaves his assigned route a ‚route deviation‘ alert is generated and as soon as possible a new optimal route is calculated and displayed to the pilot

– Show route deviation in a video scene

Individual Routing (cont.)

• Preferred Routes

• Sometimes the optimal route (the shortest route) is not what the controller want to have. He wants routes which be aware of runway direction, CAT condition or in- outbound traffic

• The GTM system can be guided to consider previously defined routes for that situations in computation individual routes, named preferred routes

– Show how preferred routes are build and how they affect individual routing in a video scene


• What if an aircraft has no assigned destination

• If a landing airfraft has no assigned destination all runway exits are switched on

• A destination can be assigned to an aircraft with flight strip management function

• All aircrafts are listed in the inbound or outbound flight strip • All aircrafts are listed in the inbound or outbound flight strip management windows

• At the flight strip of an aircraft the controller can assign or correct the destination (a stand or a line up position of a runway)

• The destination is assigned to the aircraft immediately and an individual route is computed and displayed

– Show how the assignment of a destination is done and the new individual route is displayed in a video scene


• Manual correction of an individual route

• Manual correction of an individual route is started over a context menu of an aircraft

• With drag & drop function routing points of an individual route can be moved to correct the route

• Clicking a moved routing point will delete that point again• Clicking a moved routing point will delete that point again

• Manual correction of an individual route is ended either with a double click on an unused routing point or over the context menu

– Show manual correction of an individual route on a video scene
