Solution #47 — Guidance Assistance through Airfield Ground Lighting

Enhanced Guidance Assistance to mobiles based on the automated switching of Taxiway lights and Stop bars according to the Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) operational service.
Provision of flight crew and vehicle drivers with supplementary means of guidance based on coupling the taxi route management with the airfield ground lighting. Taxiway centreline lights are automatically and progressively switched on in segments as the mobile progresses along its assigned route. Stop bars are automatically activated to mark clearance limit. The ATCO can issue simpler and shorter taxi clearances through a 'FOLLOW THE GREENS'-type instruction
