AEROBAHN SURFACEMANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Improve Efficiency for Airports, Airlines, and ANSPs
Saab’s Aerobahn®, a browser-based surface management system,enables airports, airlines, and air navigation service providers to moreefficiently and cost-effectively manage and measure airsideoperations. Aerobahn combines operational information withsurveillance data for a comprehensive view of aircraft activity,allowing users to manage everything from gate conflicts andpassenger misconnections to pre-departure sequences and taxi routes.By providing all stakeholders with a common surveillance andcommunication platform, Aerobahn enables informed, CollaborativeDecision Making (CDM).
Aerobahn TaxiView® and OpsView® give users real-time situationalawareness for immediate decision making, as well as the toolsnecessary for post-operational analysis, enabling processimprovements.
FEATURES/BENEFITS:
• Improve schedule efficiencies and blocktime planning
• Maximize runway, taxiway and gate/stand utilization
• Decrease delays & heighten performance during irregularoperations
• Reduce emissions
• Identify trends and recurring operational problems
• Better forecast the impact of future operational events
• Understand usage of airport resources, enablingverification of related fees
• Improve post-operational analysis leading to automationor process improvements
• Facilitate long-term planning

Aerobahn TaxiView
Aerobahn TaxiView provides real-time and historic location andstatus of aircraft and sensor-equipped vehicles for more effectivehandling of operations. TaxiView fuses airport surveillance data withkey flight data (e.g., flight plan, ACARS events, gate assignments) anddisplays this information on a detailed map of the airport surface. Foruser customization, TaxiView provides the ability to “tag” aircraftwith operational information such as call sign, ETA, departure fix, orover 100 other key attributes, as well as the ability to overlayadditional tools focusing on specific regions of interest orperformance metrix. TaxiView users have the ability to overlay chartsand graphs to quickly view the airport status such as a runway usage,taxi time performance, and anticipated demand. Further, TaxiView’sDynamic Queue Monitor provides graphical and tabular views oftraffic flow in to and out of specific user-defined regions. Aerobahnalso enables users to identify key criteria for alerting parameters,allowing users to monitor events such as the amount of time anaircraft has been pushed off from the gate but not yet airborn. Forpost-event analysis, TaxiView’s playback function enables users toplay back an aircraft’s route and review an operational event.
TAXIVIEW FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY
• Define and view specific airport regions such as deicingpads or taxiways as well as dynamically define regionssuch as construction areas
• Monitor aircraft throughput and time elapsed since theaircraft entered and exited a specific region
• Receive notification of critical events, such as long onboard delays, unmet aircraft, or gate conflicts
• Annotate the airport map with constraints on the airfieldsuch as taxiway or runway closures
• Customize the display of the airport surface, as well asthe aircraft data blocks (e.g., call sign, ETA, departurefix, or over 100 other key attributes)
• Zoom, rotate, and pan on the airport view
• Search for and highlight individual flight numbers oraircraft registration numbers
• Play back operational events at a user-specified pace
Real-time situational awareness of the location and status of aircraft and vehicles

Aerobahn OpsView
Aerobahn OpsView enables post-operation investigation, analysis,and customized reporting. It allows users to select and filter data byfields like flight number, aircraft model, and flight plan fix,dynamically configuring queries on activity such as runwayoccupancy, taxiway occupancy, gate occupancy, taxi times, wheels up/wheels down, and general airside traffic operations. With OpsView,users can quickly generate metrics on event times, usage, and flightsmeeting or exceeding established criteria. This data can be presentedas a tabular set, pivot table, or charts (line, bar, pie). Additionally,once the report has been generated, users can activate the playbackfunction which enables them to view the actual taxi route of theaircraft, as well as operational events that may have impacted theroute, providing an awareness of what actually transpired ascompared to original expectations.
OPSVIEW FEATURES AND FUNCTIONALITY
• Identify and evaluate operational events that influencetraffic flows, on-time performance, throughput inspecific areas of the field, and occupancy and usage ofscarce airport resources
• Generate default, production and dynamically configuredreports and queries on demand and automatically
• Play back operational events associated with an activityby simply selecting the activity within a report
• Distribute reports and queries on demand andautomatically
User-defined reports can be presented as a tabular set, pivot table, or charts

Aerobahn Surface Management System
Saab’s Aerobahn can work with a variety of surveillance data sources.One such source is the highly accurate Saab multilateration. Saabmultilateration uses multiple low-maintenance, non-rotating sensorsto triangulate aircraft location based on transponder signals and toprovide air traffic controllers and commercial users with preciseaircraft position and identification information regardless of weatherconditions. With a higher update rate and greater positional accuracythan traditional radar, Saab multilateration provides effectivesurveillance for increased safety, capacity and efficiency of airspaceand airport resources. Additionally, each multilateration sensordeployed by Saab supports Automatic Dependent Surveillance –Broadcast (ADS-B).
Saab multilateration offers an ideal solution for the complexity ofairport surface surveillance. The flexibility in configuring the systemallows coverage over the entire airport area, including the ramp,remote aircraft parking, and approach/departure corridors.
Saab multilateration is deployed around the world and has been the surveillance solution of choice for more than 20 locationsthroughout Europe, Canada, and Asia. Additionally, it is a corecomponent of the FAA’s Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) system which Saab has installed at 35 airports across the U.S.
BENEFITS:
• Reduce runway incursions
• Maintain capacity in low visibility
• Optimize ramp and gate operations
• Decrease aircraft taxi delays
• Improve surveillance data
