More Information
Summary:This disclosure is directed tomethods, computer program products, and systems for providing airport surface vehicle tracking data, including indications of potential collision hazards, to an airport map display system onboard an aircraft. In one example, a method includes receiving data from one or more airport ground surface sensors configured to detect transient surface objects on an airport ground surface. The method further includes generating informationaboutone or more transient surface objects on an airport ground surface based at least in part on the data from the one or more airport ground surface sensors. The method further includes outputting the informationaboutthe one or more transient surface objects to a wireless router for transmission over a wireless local area network.
