Airport Improving

Traffic Sensor System safety

Type ISA on airports

AEROSPACE

Using high reliable Airport Traffic Sensor for aircraft and

vehicle detection in runway/taxiway area

- for improvement of safety on airports,

- to improve the integrity of radar traffic surveillance
- for protection of safety critical areas (e.g. runway incursion)
 Function
- detection based on the change of low
frequency magnetic field generated by
microcomputer based signal evaluation
- simple cable in taxiway or runway
activated by remote enhanced
microprocessor operation provides a
high sensitivity and automatic calibration
- robust against interferences
- well proved technology
- more than 1.300 sensors installed on 16
airports worldwide
- provides extremely high availability and
integrity

Sensor system consist of

• detection sensitive area (DSA)
formed by outdoor copper cable
• standard communication cable for
signal transmission Evaluation unit (indoor)
• well protected indoor electronic for
signal evaluation

Cable length up to 2500m!

detection sensitive area (DSA)

No electronics anywhere in the field!

Typical application: „Runway entry“ – STB/TXC control

 The sensor system consists of:

1. In the field

- sensor cable: Oelflex 400P, 4 x 1,5 (11 mm ∅)

- sensor dimension 3 m x 5 m up to 4,5 m x 30 m
- telephone cable (x times twin core 0,8 mm ∅) type: A-2YF(L)2Y
- length up to 2500 m between sensor and evaluation unit ISA

2. Cabinet
- 19” mounting rack incl. power supply and over voltage protection available for
o five ISA-2DET with serial interface (single or redundant)
o eight ISA-2DET with parallel interface

Technical Data
- reaction time less than 300ms
- error detection time less than 300ms
- permanent self tests and automatic system calibration through
mathematical procedures
- aircraft/vehicle detection in four classes
- 160 measurements per second for each sensor

Highlights
- detection of presence, incursion, lead-on and departure
- detection of classification, direction and velocity using special arrangement (“cvd-
configuration")
- up to 2500 m distance between sensor and evaluation unit ISA
- no electronics in the field
- robust sensor cable and proved installation allow laying cable across gaps in pavement
- redundant power supplies (optionally)
- redundant communication to CMS (optionally)
- proved installation of more than 1.300 sensors on 16 airports world-wide
