Advanced – Surface movement guidance and control systems (A-SMGCS) is a “total system approach enhancing safe operations of ground movements, which becomes essential for maintaining capacity in low visibility conditions.”
Advanced – Surface movement guidance and control systems (A-SMGCS) is a “total system approach enhancing safe operations of ground movements, which becomes essential for maintaining capacity in low visibility conditions.”[1]
The ICAO A-SMGCS Manual[2] (Documents 9830) defines the systems principle functions as being:
-
Surveillance, which provides controllers (eventually pilots and vehicle drivers) with situational awareness on the movement area (such as a surveillance display showing the position and identification of all aircraft and vehicles);
-
Control, providing conflict detection and alerting on runways (and eventually the whole movement area);
-
Routing, through which manually (eventually automatically) the most efficient route is designated for each aircraft or vehicle;
-
Guidance, giving pilots and drivers indications enabling them to follow an assigned route.

[2] See: http://www.icao.int/Meetings/anconf12/Documents/9830_cons_en%5B1%5D.pdf
EUROCONTROL has identified four implementation levels of the system:
-
Level one provides surveillance, display systems and procedures to permit comprehensive ATCO situation awareness;
-
Level two consists of Level one functions together with automated monitoring and alerting functions, initially including the prediction of conflicts on active runways or incursions into restricted areas;
-
Levels three and four correspond to the introduction of routing, automatic guidance and planning functions, but have yet to be clearly defined.
|
According to ICAO: “An A-SMGCS differs from an SMGCS in that it may provide a full individual service over a much wider range of weather conditions, traffic density and aerodrome layouts. A-SMGCS are to use common modules in all circumstances.”
A-SMGCS integrates data from multiple sensors, including ADS-B and radar systems.
The average one-off cost of a complete A-SMGCS based on a 2006 cost-benefit analysis by EUROCONTROL[1] and the costs made public by contractor award information (see the global A-SMGCS project map below) is around €3.8 million ($5 million).

Much of the early research into deploying the technology was undertaken in Europe with the EMMA (European Airport Movement Management by A-SMGCS) programme, which involved, from 2004 to 2008, “maturing and validating the A-SMGCS concept as an integrated air-ground system, seamlessly embedded in the overall ATM system.” Level 1 and 2 A-SMGCSs were implemented at three European airports (Prague Ruzyne, Milan Malpensa and Toulouse-Blagnac) as part of a €16 million research programme part funded by the European Commission.
Since then, the benefits and management of the system have been spread globally. An important global implementation co-ordinating body is the International Cooperation on Airport Surveillance (ICAS), a group of Airports, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and Eurocontrol, supporting airports and ANSPs “in the implementation, integration and exploitation of Airport Surveillance Systems in an Airport environment, covering all phases of the ground movement” with a focus on all aspects of A-SMGCS and supporting systems.
Currently representatives from 45 ANSPs, EUROCONTROL and Airport Authorities are ICAS members, covering 31 countries (see also, http://www.icas-group.org/icasgroup/home/)
The table below shows the global implementation status of systems identified by the report’s author. It shows the continuing predominance of Europe as the largest region of systems’ deployment with major potential scope for new deliveries to secondary and regional airports in the continent, where traffic is growing relatively quickly. China is also a major potential growth market, with 70 airports under construction or development, and China is developing its own domestic suppliers in this area. Sales to Latin America are, in contrast, relatively low.
Lower-cost surveillance systems are now entering the market, with the Searidge video airfield monitoring system sold to Canadian airports, for example, and the Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC) programme, an FAA-funded January 2012 project won by Saab Sensis to bring enhanced surface situational awareness and advanced warning of potential runway incursions to nine US airports. The FAA has indicated the following airports to receive ASSC: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (Alaska), Andrews Air Force Base (Maryland), Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (Kentucky), Cleveland Hopkins Airport (Ohio), Kansas City International Airport (Missouri), Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (Louisiana), Pittsburgh International Airport (Pennsylvania), Portland International Airport (Oregon) and San Francisco International Airport (California).

The FAA has deployed ASDE-X, supplied by Saab Sensis, to 35 of the nation’s airports. ASDE-X combines ground surveillance data from a number of sources to provide controllers with real-time, accurate position and location information of all aircraft and vehicles on the airport surface. By integrating surface movement radar, transponder multilateration and ADS-B surveillance data, ASDE-X provides seamless, redundant coverage in all weather conditions. Controllers in the tower see this information presented as a colour display of aircraft and vehicle positions overlaid on a map of the airport’s runways/taxiways and approach corridors. The system essentially creates a continuously updated map of the airport movement area that controllers can use to spot potential collisions. It is especially helpful to controllers at night or in bad weather when visibility is poor. The FAA has enhanced ASDE-X with visual and audio alarms that will alert controllers to possible collisions. The 35 major airports are:
• Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (Baltimore, MD)
