Feasibility Analysis of an Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) Based Surface Trilateration Surveillance System.
Abstract
Analysis indicates there are feasible methods for achieving surveillance of vehicles on the airport surface by means of time-of-arrival measurements of the vehicle's ATCRBS Transponder reply at three or more receiver sites. The report contains a definition of an ATCRBS based surface surveillance system, analyses of various problems and techniques to achieve a satisfactory data acquisition subsystem, and criteria for conducting a test program for further verification of feasibility and design.
