Abstract :
The team of Teledyne Controls (Teledyne) and Detector Systems, Inc. (DSI) conducted a test program, under FAA Contract DTF A01-92-C00043, to evaluate alternate technologies which might prevent runway incursions. Specifically, the major scope of the program was to evaluate the suitability of the inductive loop sensors for detecting both aircraft and ground vehicles in an airport environment. This paper presents the results from extensive testing carried out at the Long Beach Airport in the spring of 1993
