'IntelliDAR' Intelligent Video Platform Will Be Installed
The FAA has commissioned the
installation of an "intelligent" video platform developed by
Searidge Technologies at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport
(SEA) as part of a technology performance assessment led by the
University of Illinois Center of Excellence for Airport Technology.
The Low-Cost Surface Management Framework (LCSS-F) research program
in the FAA's William Hughes Technical Center is examining
surveillance technologies for smaller airports.
Searidge, using commercially available sensor-based
technologies, will provide low-cost basic ground surveillance
capability in the non-movement area, at small to medium sized
airports where deployment of Airport Surface Detection Equipment
Model X (ASDE-X) technology is not viable. The system will provide
airport stakeholders with shared real-time situational awareness of
all surface traffic and a comprehensive solution to airport surface
movement surveillance encompassing aircraft and vehicle
traffic.

At SEA, Searidge will provide its intelligent video platform
"IntelliDAR" to provide a distributed set of non-cooperative
sensors (video cameras) that are strategically located to provide
surveillance near the terminal. Views from multiple cameras will be
fused into a single display, allowing the operator to see all the
ground traffic in an intuitive one-look view. The surveillance
cameras provide all-weather performance and a long range view
giving controllers full visual confirmation of apron and movement
areas. Additional system capabilities include real-time
positioning, automatic alerting of incursions, live video feeds and
archived data for incident review resulting in a more secure and
efficient airport surface.
"We are pleased to be involved in another FAA research program.
The LCSS framework will highlight the key role intelligent video
plays in the market to create a safer and more efficient airport
environment," explains Alex Sauriol, vice president, ATM/Airport
Technology, Searidge Technologies.
