Airports Aim for Latest Automated Docking Systems

Our Bureau - : Sep 15, 2022 - : 11:56 pm

As airports look at efficient and safe automated aircraft docking during regular and irregular operations, ADB SAFEGATE has launched its latest advanced visual docking guidance system (A-VDGS) – the Safedock FleX.

ADB SAFEGATE’s proven infrared laser and 3D scanning technique was recently deployed in Dallas Forth Worth International Airport and other airports are looking at the option of using the system aimed at improving operational performance and the passenger experience.

Airports have come to rely on for Intelligent advancements in A-VDGS technology to help avoid disruptions to enable faster aircraft parking, which in turn improves the passenger experience while reducing fuel burn and emissions.

The Safedock A-VDGS not only provides smoother aircraft parking, but the systems are uniquely capable of collecting and sharing data to further improve operations, a company a senior official of the company said.

Nick Haines, VP Americas for ADB SAFEGATE said: “Our next generation A-VDGS are key to our Digital Apron offering of advanced technologies that includes data analysis, artificial intelligence and video surveillance to achieve efficient, safe and sustainable, all-weather airport operations.”

The modular design of the Safedock FleX offers a separate scanning unit and pilot display for greater flexibility in mounting to support tight parking positions at the airport and optimize views for pilots and ground crew. In addition, the FleX boasts double the scanning area as the older systems to accommodate complex gate layouts and allow centerline changes without repositioning the A-VDGS.

A modern, full-color LED display will provide intuitive docking guidance to pilots and communicate critical Ramp Information Display System (RIDS) messages to ground crew to improve situational awareness during aircraft turnaround.
