摘要: An airport surface traffic surveillance and automation system addresses a wide variety of conflict scenarios using combination runway-status lights, controller alerts, enhanced displays. Runway-status composed runway-entrance lights takeoff-hold provide alerts directly to pilots vehicle operators, prevent runway incursions before they happen. Controller are used direct controller's attention existing conflicts between aircraft on or near the runways. Enhanced displays present symbology describe position, size, direction speed motion, altitude, flight number, equipment type. Aircraft approach runways also depicted The invention features an system, having radar data interface for receiving from source at first rate outputting second less than rate, target processor coupled interface. includes clutter rejecter generating map signals in data, substantially removing map, morphological receive detecting objects morphology object, multipath false targets resulting reflections, tracker tracking path surface.
