• Abstract:
  Airport surface moving maps vary in the capabilities provided (e.g., the depiction of ownship position and/or traffic, the presentation of taxi route, and indicating or alerting the potential for runway incursions). The purpose of this effort was to understand and to attempt to quantify the benefits offered by these different capabilities using data from runway incursions and surface incidents for Fiscal Year FY2007 and FY2008. Based on the scenarios and errors involved, we estimated the number of these incidents and incursions that may have been mitigated had a surface moving map with specific capabilities been available. The results indicated that a surface moving map with ownship position could mitigate approximately one-third of all runway incursions in FY2007 and FY2008. This benefit doubled with the addition of all surface traffic (aircraft and surface vehicles) on the surface moving map display.
