Innovations In Bird Control Measures At Airports

It can be said that pioneers in aviation watched the graceful flight of birds for inspiration in developing early prototypes of modern aircraft. For example, the long, sweeping wings of today’s gliders and airplanes are reminiscent of those on eagles and albatrosses that carry them for long distances with minimal effort. As much as we can attribute the rise of our industry to birds, our feathered friends can actually be a nuisance to safe runway operations.

Integrating Automated Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE) With Your Runway Lighting Systems

Since the first runway became operational over a century ago, airport lighting technology has taken off, increasing safety and improving runway efficiency with new innovations that continue to revolutionize our industry. Advancements such as LEDs, runway edge lights, airport lighting control and management systems (ALCMS), precision approach path indicators (PAPI), and other innovations have transformed how airports manage aircraft traffic.

Regulatory Compliance And Standardization Of Airport Lighting And Power Equipment

As suppliers of airport lighting and power equipment to airports worldwide, we’re responsible for ensuring our products comply with the relevant regulatory bodies that enact strict standards on airport operations within their jurisdictions. These regulatory compliance standards are in place to ensure airport safety, improve operational efficiency, and help minimize service disruptions.

The Importance Of Reliable Power And Control Systems In Airport Lighting

Airport facility managers understand the critical role of reliable power and control systems in ensuring safe, efficient aircraft and runway operations. Issues such as power surges and voltage fluctuations can pose serious safety hazards without the right power and control systems in place to provide continuous energy supply.

How Smart Lighting Systems Help Optimize Airport Operations

Airport lighting technology has come a long way since early 20th-century innovators placed incandescent lights along runways to help guide pilots during takeoff and landing. With the rise of LED lighting and integrated control systems, the sky has proven to be the limit when it comes to technology that manages inbound and outbound air traffic.
