Description
1 INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
A safe and efficient National Airspace System (NAS) begins and ends on the airport surface. Surface safety continues to be one of the FAA's highest priorities and encompasses pilots, air traffic controllers, and airport vehicle drivers.
The FAA welcomes innovation to deliver vital air traffic services for safe and efficient use in the NAS. The FAA is specifically interested in learning more about cost-effective technological solutions that may be viable for deployment at airports without existing Runway Status Lights (RWSL) systems. This Request for Information (RFI) is searching for technology that could provide pilots with a direct indication that a runway is unsafe either for entry or crossing.
2 BACKGROUND
Pilots and surface vehicle operators require clearance from Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) when entering or crossing active runways. RWSL was developed as an independent safety enhancement that does not substitute for ATC clearance.
RWSL is a fully automated system deployed at 20 airports that provides runway status information to pilots and surface vehicle operators to indicate when it is unsafe to enter, cross, or takeoff from a runway. The RWSL system processes information from surface surveillance systems and activates Runway Entrance Lights and Takeoff Hold Lights in accordance with the motion and velocity of the detected traffic. Runway Entrance Lights and Takeoff Hold Lights are in-pavement light fixtures that are directly visible to pilots and surface vehicle operators.
Installation of RWSL requires extensive airport construction activity on runways and taxiways. Required efforts include constructing duct banks, boring under runways and taxiways, running conduit, and installing light fixtures into the runway or taxiway surfaces.
Given the complexity, scale, and significant costs associated with installing a RWSL system, it is impractical to install RWSL at a large number of airports. ...
