There is a huge increase in operational efficiency to be gained from organized guidance and control of the ground movements of today's increased air traffic flow. Safegate offers airport light systems, ALS, with ASP® for individual lamp monitoring, stop bar control and taxiway guidance and SafeControl® for decision support and automation of the operational procedures. Air traffic control staff get real time status for complete control and monitoring of the airfield ground lighting. The integrated systems increase operational efficiency, simplify the decision process and reduce workload and maintenance.

 

• Less weather dependent
• Clearer guidance
• Flow optimization
• Preventive maintenance
• Simple changing and retrofitting

The possibility to differentiate between critical and non-critical lamp failure makes the system less vulnerable. Constant monitoring of the airport's ability to change operating mode increases preparedness. Interfacing to positioning system makes light control possible in very low visibility.

 

The lights and signs are used to reinforce radioed taxiing directives through turning on and off routing lights, stop bars, signs etc.

 

The most efficient route is used to save time and minimize fuel consumption and pollution with the aircraft guided through active routing via pre-defined routes.

 

Statistics are used to perform planned preventive maintenance. Potential failures are pre-empted from affecting operational readiness. Selection between critical and non-critical lamp failures saves maintenance time.

 

The system minimizes operational disturbance and costs when changing operational procedures affecting hardware in the field.

 

Using ALS from Safegate will protect from blocked aprons, TWY, RWY and airports, delays, missed revenues and profits. It will also lower the administration costs.

 

Ad the savings from minimized costs from damage on equipment, personal injuries and casualties to the savings in efficiency above, to understand the requirements for an outstanding return on investment, when installing airport light systems from Safegate.
