Abstract
A GNSS Based Multi-Dimensional Control and Management System for vehicles operating in a multi-dimensional environment is disclosed. GNSS compatible techniques provide for a seamless airport independent four (4) dimensional vehicular management capability. The system utilizes precise 3-dimensional maps, the Earth Centered Earth Fixed (ECEF) WGS-84 coordinate reference frame, local coordinate frames such as local and state plane grids, zone-based management processing, automated airport lighting control, collision prediction and avoidance processing, 4-dimensional waypoint navigation, and air traffic control and vehicle situational awareness through global management processes that allow for the safe and efficient management of an airport in the air and one the ground. The management methods and processes are also applicable to vehicles and aircraft operating in the airport space envelope as well as other remote user sites with or without the assistance of the air traffic controller. The methods and processes employed provide a fundamental framework for increased airport safety, operational efficiency, cost savings and improved automation.
