ATIMS LITE™

ATIMS LITE™ – Asset Tracking and Incursion Management System is a GPS based tool that warns vehicle operators of impending safety issues.  With built in Runway Incursion Warning System (RIWS) logic, ATIMS LITE™ assists vehicle operators to navigate the airfield safely.  The system also allows for the viewing of airfield vehicle activity, both in real-time and historically, right from the Airfield Manager’s desktop and/or Supervisor’s vehicle.

All of the required hardware is installed in the vehicle, without the need for special equipment on the airfield.  Using a small unit placed on the vehicle dash, the system provides airfield vehicle operators with an indication of impending safety issues.  With built in Runway Incursion Warning System (RIWS) logic based on the FAA AC 150/5210-25, ATIMS LITE™ assists vehicle operators to navigate the airfield safely.

ATIMS LITE™ provides a proximity alarm to alert the vehicle operator when approaching critical points on the airfield.  These warnings are based on vehicle velocity.  The time when the warning is triggered increases with speed, allowing the vehicle operator more time to properly react even at higher speeds.   The warnings can be customized to both voice and tone.  Zones are also customizable, providing the airport with capability to set alerts for locations of the Hold Line Markings, ILS Critical Areas, Runway Safety Areas with both standard and non-standard dimensions, and other areas as required.

The system also allows for vehicle tracking and viewing of airfield vehicle activity, both in real-time and historically, right from the Airfield Manager’s desktop.
