This Symposium is being set up as a follow-on to the first 2001 JISSA conference with the objective of taking stock of technical progress, operational gains and experience learned since this initial conference, on airport systems already deployed, in terms of capacity, safety enhancements and overall efficiency.
This event is of interest to A-SMGCS (Advanced Surface Movement Guidance
and Control Systems) researchers and engineers as well as decision-makers
interested in all "air-side" aspects of airport management. It will cover
all types of sensors and associated systems used for A-SMGCS and for protecting
airport critical-safety zones against intrusions of all kinds including
ground objects and personnel authorized or not.
The following sensors / system aspects will be addressed to cater for:
- surveillance of landing /take-off runway approaches, up to 10 nautical miles,
- surveillance of runways, taxi-ways and of their occupancy by authorised and non-authorised vehicles,
- surveillance of all ground moving objects : aircraft, co-operative and non-co-operative vehicles and personnel,
- traffic situation monitoring, conflict detection and alerting,
- localisation and identification of obstacles and debris,
- detection of intrusions by animals and birds,
- measurement of meteorological and atmospheric parameters : visual ranges, turbulence and wind-shear,
- microwave and optical devices, active and passive, cooperative and non cooperative, as well as enhanced vision equipment,
- multi-lateration, ADS-B and use of co-operative on-board sensors,
- route planning and guidance,
- integration and merging of data provided by these sensors, and data
sharing among all airport "air-side" stake-holders, involved in Collaborative
Decision Making (CDM),
- airport surface traffics management, aeronautical and ground vehicle
flow-coordination between air-traffic and airline operational control
centers to enhance ATM and air-transport efficiency in an overall "gate
to gate" context,
- airport sensors and systems in-situ validation, including pre-commissioning safety cases planning and performance.
