Description

Some Runway Incursion incidents could have been prevented if controllers had had better means to detect that the runway was occupied at the time of issuing clearance to the next aircraft to use the runway. Analyses published in the Global Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions (GAPPRI) even found that 41% of all serious runway incursion incidents could have been prevented by ATC potential conflict detection before clearing another traffic to the runway.
