A-SMGCS: Innovation, Applications, and Future Prospects of Modern Aviation Ground Movement Management System

This paper provides an overview of the Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS) as a pivotal feature of modern aviation ground movement management. The C/S structure, distributed, and open nature of A-SMGCS suit the demands of complex airport environments. The system comprises multiple modules, including data communication, surveillance data processing, flight data processing, route planning, human-machine interface, digital clearance, and data recording. Data processing and fusion facilitate accurate information aggregation, while surveillance and positioning modules locate aircraft and vehicles through multi-source data analysis. Route planning and conflict detection optimize aircraft taxi paths, enhancing ground traffic efficiency. Aircraft state machines and multi-zone segmentation reduce the complexity of intrusion judgment, enabling early runway intrusion alerts. Furthermore, this paper presents the application of Petri net technology in taxiway lighting control. The synergistic effect of these key technologies empowers A-SMGCS to maintain high levels of safety, efficiency, and controllability under diverse conditions, providing robust support for modern airport operations.
