ASTOS - A level 3 Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System |
|
ASTOS is a Level 3 A-SMGCS - an essential tool for making airport traffic more efficient and above all safe. ASTOS particularly addresses and prevents conflict situations and congestion without disturbing the natural flow of all airport surface movements. It holds all ICAO, Eurocontrol and EUROCAE defined elements as there are; Surveillance, Guidance, Planning and Control.
ASTOS differentiates itself from many other A-SMGCS systems by its smart and hardware independent design. Its practically unlimited extension possibilities, its straightforward and intuitive Users Interface and the use of the latest technology advantages.
ASTOS is a modular and scaleable system. An open system architecture is employed for ease of implementation and communication with other systems, and permits the system to be tailored to meet the operational requirements of different users. The system building blocks are commercial off-the-shelf industrial computer running specialised application software. Existing sensors such as radar are used for the surveillance task.
Central server collect data from sensors and other systems, perform processing and distribute the processed data to the controller working positions (CWP). The various components of the system communicate via an off-the-shelf high-speed computer network. Read more on this smart system and download the ASTOS folder.
