Intelligent solutions in airfield technology
The category of precision approach runway lighting is determined by the
prevailing visibility conditions. For each of the different categories, ICAO
worked out standard AGL layouts.
Lighting systems
Depending on visibility conditions under which airports have to operate, as
well as on available radio navigation equipment, lighting systems should
comprise all visual aids needed for clearly marking the approach sector,
runways, taxiways and apron, and for routing the landed aircraft safely.
The AGL system includes the following equipment:
- Hazard and obstacle lighting
- Wind direction equipment
- Identification beacons
- Apron floodlighting
- Signal equipment
- Docking system
Airside
visual aids are gaining increasing importance for the safe movement of aircraft
on the ground. The increase of traffic volume and the need for continuous
improvement of traffic safety on runways, taxiways and apron are technical and
economic challenges for intelligent airfield lighting and control.
Based on our many decades of experience in the field of airport technology,
Siemens has established a strong market position as the single source for
complete solutions in airfield products, systems and related services.
Airfield lighting products and systems from Siemens guide airplanes and
helicopters on hundreds of airports worldwide - 24 hours / 7 days a week with
the highest reliability and economic efficiency.
