Layoutplan Rwy/twy lighting in the ATC and Apron Tower at Cat II / III beginning at RWR 600m:
- Here Touchdown lighting 25R and 25L on- PAPI out- TWY-CL lighting on - Stopbars and No Entree´s automatically on
- additionally through bottom „ALL STB“ and selectively on/off- when selectively STB off, -after 30 sec. automatically on
- failure of 1/3 or more of one Stopbar will be made visual by blinking of that STB.

Explanation:
to fix a target via Multilateration-Systems this target must be identified by at least three receivers simultaneously. The accuracy of the target position is mainly dependent of the accurate receiver position and the geometrical configuration of the receivers (angle equation).To compensate a loss of one receiver the target has to be identified in normal conditions by al least 4 receivers (redundancy).The target location will be measured through the different signal time frames. (TOA time difference of arrival).

Safe Surface Movement Guidance
Complete coverage of all relevant airport areas
Clear and reliable detection and identification of all aircraft and vehicles on the apron and movement area
Safe, orderly and effective management of ground traffic in adverse weather conditions
Fast and safe Emergency Operations
Increasing traffic at major hub-airports seriously interferes with the operation of safety-relevant vehicles
Regulations for fire-fighting and rescue operations in adverse weather conditions will be tightened (ICAO, Annex 14)

TACSYS / ETNA - Operational Aspects
Onboard Safety and Ground Movement Safety:
All ETNA-vehicles are equipped with a multitude of precise and reliable positioning sensors, an accurate and up-to-date database and a fault tolerant navigation software
All relevant information is directly displayed to the driver to reduce response times e.g. for fire-fighting and rescue vehicles in all weather conditions
The positions of ETNA-vehicles are displayed on a control station where information on tasks, routing and obstacles is transmitted
Vehicle positions inside the movement area can be displayed on ramp control tower together with aircraft information

Fraport AG
ETNA - Status Quo
Evaluation Phase (ETNA I) successfully completed in 05/2001 Management decision to continue the development (ETNA II)
ETNA II, Workpackage 1 completed in 12/2001: - Further tests and evaluation of ETNA I prototype- Compilation of Requirements Document for Workpackages 2-5
ETNA - Major Tasks for WP2 (12/01 - 11/02)
Development and redesign of basic systems for onboard data processing unit, Master Control Station and Vehicle Information System (central data processing unit including communications interface)
Development of low-cost navigation unit (class II) based on D-GPS in combination with software filters and additional low cost onboard sensors
Integration of communications system and overall system tests
In Mid 2003 an ETNA - Pre-Series System will be operational at FRA
TACSYS / ETNA - Project Status and Future Tasks
Fraport AG
Conclusions:
The actual RWY/TXY system at Frankfurt Airport is in respect to Runway incursions is safe and needs not to be upgraded.The future system of Capts/Tacsys/Etna will ensure that when traffic volume and airport infrastructure will rise the runway incursions will be of no significant matter.
