Abu Dhabi unveiled its Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH).
The system is the first and most progressive of its kind in the Middle East and the latest example of the airline's drive to use the latest technology to offer its passengers greater safety, efficiency and sustainability in a hassle-free journey.
As reported on Thursday by the official Emirates news agency, WAM , this new technology does not only benefit passengers. Airfield guidance and control systems are used to illuminate runways at night or in low visibility conditions , such as fog, to ensure that pilots can easily identify the runway and take-off areas, as well as any possible obstacles .
The new Level 4 A-SMGCS system , designed by industry-leading airport solutions provider, ADB SAFEGATE, enables conflict resolution and automatic planning and guidance in all weather conditions , which also improves awareness of the situation for both the control tower employees and the pilots.
The new system will reduce aircraft taxiing times , as well as forced diversions due to bad weather, which will benefit passengers and mitigate the associated costs for airlines . In addition, it will increase the airport's capacity , reduce energy consumption and ensure minimal downtime for maintenance. The system is endowed with 'Follow the Greens' technology, which enables smart and sustainable routing and guidance by automatically illuminating only the lights needed to guide a specific aircraft to its designated gate.
