Weather Monitoring Systems for Runway Safety Management
Low visibility is a major contributor to runway incursions (unauthorized presence on the runway) and landing accidents. Pilots need to see the runway lights to land, and ground vehicles need to see aircraft to avoid collisions.
Automated Weather Observing Systems utilize transmissometers and forward-scatter sensors located along the runway edge. These devices measure the opacity of the...
