44 Advanced technologies to improve the safety of airport operations continue to be developed, tested, and implemented; some of these are aimed at improving runway safety by preventing runway incursions. These advanced systems, sponsored by and developed for the FAA, are solutions that are integrated into airport infrastructure and processes to provide information to key stakeholders and often provide visual signals to those operating on the surface of the airfield.

Technology Solutions for Enhanced Decision Making 45 advanced technologies may be cost prohibitive. The spectrum of solutions reviewed for this report included those on an individual level, such as through use of a tablet or smartphone, to vast system solutions such as RWSL, ASDE-3, ASDE-X, and AMASS.

46 Airside Operations Safety: Understanding the Effects of Human Factors 7.1.2.1 Radio Receivers to Monitor ATC Radio Communications One readily available option to improve the understanding of radio communications and aviation terminology is to listen to others communicating on the radio. Having a radio receiver capable of monitoring the ground control frequency or ramp tower frequencies readily available in a space where qualified drivers take care of paperwork or take breaks provides a means to not only listen to others communicating on the radio but also helps the driver in the creation of a mental picture of what is going on around the airport -- in other words, exercising the skills that build SA.

48 Airside Operations Safety: Understanding the Effects of Human Factors to detect fatigued operators, providing an alarm that is either visual, audible, vibratory, or a combination of these. These types of technologies have been in use in the trucking and mining industries for several years and have helped reduce the number of fatigue-related incidents in the organizations that employ them.

Technology Solutions for Enhanced Decision Making 49 7.4.1 Full-Sized Driving Simulators Full-sized simulators are those in which the person training sits in a seat and controls the simulation with controls that are similar to those in the vehicle itself. As an example, MSP uses a full-sized simulator for airside driver training.
