A Preliminary Evaluation of the Potential Utility of the Surface Condition Analyzer (SCAN) System for Monitoring Runway Water Depth as Relating to Runway Traction.

Abstract

During 1978, Calspan Corporation conducted an independent research investigation of the basic principles and operational performance of the Surface Condition Analyzer system (SCAN) as an indicator of airport runway conditions with respect to icing and/or hydroplaning situations. This report documents a preliminary evaluation of the potential utility of the SCAN system in providing information relative to the hydroplaning potential of a wet runway. (Author)
