Electronic eye supports air traffic control
|
|
|
|
In fog and snowstorms, it is impossible to observe the movements of planes and
vehicles on taxi ways and aprons, even from the tallest control tower. Air
traffic control at Munich Airport has recently prepared for such eventualities
with a special "electronic eye". In poor visibility, this new
visualization system based on Simatic WinCC facilitates the detailed
observation and targeted operation of all lighting systems for the runways as
well as the adjacent taxiways.

Thanks to the induction loops set into the taxiways, identification and
display of objects located on the taxiways is possible an indispensable
prerequisite for the establishment of a capacity-oriented taxi management
system.
