Exploitable results
Intervuse is a project funded by the EC to support a new direction in surface movement ground control system (SMGCS) solutions, which is cost-effective, innovative, and suitable to fill blind spots in the SMGCS technology developed so far. Air traffic management today faces two major bottlenecks in the capacity of manageable traffic load:
- Limited airspace usage caused by restricted airways and corridors instead of free flight
- Limited traffic throughput on ground caused by insufficient technical support with ground control systems.
For these reasons, the EC has sponsored a number of projects to improve European airspace and traffic management infrastructure and to increase worldwide competitiveness.
Objectives include
- Provision of a low-cost solution for SMGCS by combination of radar tracking, flight plan processing and digital video processing (capable of integrating with SMR), which makes SMGCS affordable and thus available to a broader range of airports.
- Provision of a scalable package of VBED and VSDF to cover blind spots in a total SMGCS.
- Analysis of downgrading of digital video processing for various weather and light conditions with an online quality control and analysis module.
- Combination of new sensors (digital cameras) into multi-sensor data fusion for SMGCS.
- Combination of Discrete Kalman Filtering (DKF) - based tracking techniques with:
- video processing with virtual detectors,
- event state vector extraction algorithms,
- positioning techniques,
- state vector quality determination and error propagation,
- state vector accuracy/reliability probability estimation.
Provision of an intelligent tool / system solution to support safe transportation at airports.
The project was approached in different steps:
- the development the system architecture and technical requirements and the overall system design for both test sites,
-software development,
preparation of sites, integration at site,tests at site.
The project results indicate that Intervuse technology can achieve most of the performance requirements of a Surface Movement Radar (SMR). Specifically, the strengths of the system are:
- no radiation,
- lower cost,
- provision of video,
- higher update rate.
Video cameras can provide a useful contribution to airport surveillance and that the technology developed in Intervuse project has the potential to be a gap-filler to complement Surface Movement Radar (SMR).
