ADS-B Ground Infrastructure

 

<- Back to TIS-B Product Page

The TIS-B service collects ADS-B data and radar tracks and fuses the data set to a complete surveillance picture, incorporating both ADS-B equipped and non-ADS-B equipped aircraft.

The service consists of the following modules:

Surveillance data processing system (SDPS): It collects surveillance data from radar(s) and other sources like ADS-B and fuses them to single target position report. These position reports are then sent to the TIS-B server.

TIS-B Server: Receives position reports from the SDPS, performs gap filling, traffic volume filtering, creation of a full surveillance picture and sends the position reports to one or more ADS-B ground stations.

ADS-B Ground station: On the one hand receives ADS-B position reports from aircraft and sends them to the SDPS, on the other hand it receives a complete surveillance picture from the TIS-B server and uplinks it to the aircraft for displaying it in the cockpit.

AviBit provides a TIS-B server which is marketed and distributed by TERMA in the LinkAge package.
