<strong>Safety</strong> on the Airport side<br />
A-SMGCS<br />
Advanced Surface Monitoring Guidance And Control System (A-SMGCS)<br />
The A-SMGCS concept has been developed to help improving the current<br />
systems, procedures and use against: traffic increase, airport complexity,<br />
and the need of a continuous maintenance of a high level service.<br />
*Alignment with: EMMA 2, SESAR and ESIP<br />
• A-SMGCS consists on 4 main functions and 4 levels per function.<br />
• The main A-SMGCS functions, as defined by ICAO, are:<br />
• Surveillance: Provides situation awareness in the movement area.<br />
• Control: Detects conflicts and runway alerts.<br />
• Runway Incursion Alert for departures and arrivals (Level II), conflict<br />
detection in all the movement area and presentation to ATCOs (Level III)<br />
and conflict resolution (Level IV)<br />
• Routing: Provides the most efficient route for each aircraft or vehicle.<br />
• Presentation of the calculation results to ATCOs (Level III) and then pilots<br />
and vehicle drivers (Level IV)<br />
• Guidance: Shows indications to pilots and controllers to permit following an<br />
assigned route.
