The Runway Status Lights (RWSL) is a surveillance driven system that manages automatically new airfield lights to indicate to Flight Crews and Vehicle Drivers when it is unsafe to enter, use or cross a runway. Those new airfield lights can be composed of Runway Entrance Lights (REL), Take-off Hold Lights (THL) and/or Runway Intersection Lights (RIL). The Airfield Ground Lighting system has therefore to be upgraded to provide these new sets of lights
