Ground Taxi Safety

GTX is a system that I designed that will help eliminate aircraft from taxing into the wrong position onto a runway that is closed or out of serivce.

The system will consist of an aircraft based system that would allow pilots to determine their position at any time while moving about all operations area, a solar powered ground transceivers mounted at different intervals to relay signals, and an interactive system to be utilized by ground controllers at airports to assign movements to aircraft on all operations areas of the airport.

The system would be a sun pass type box in teh cockpit that will display different LED on a moving blocklight system (Red, Amber, Green)

The goal is to eliminate accidents and runway collisions.
