abstract="Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control Systems (A-SMGCS) comprise a range of new technologies for both the flight deck and ground air traffic control and is supposed to enable increased safety and a more efficient throughput at presently highly congested major airports. A flight deck A-SMGCS module is the onboard guidance system TARMAC-AS. This module consists of controller pilot data link communication (CPDLC) and an electronic moving map (EMM), which also serves as a cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI). TARMAC-AS is evaluated in an investigation involving 49 commercial pilots who performed a series of approach, landing and taxiing simulation trials under varied visibility, which were completed in a fixed-base cockpit simulator. Results support the notion that an EMM + CPDLC + CDTI improve the effectiveness of taxi navigation. A potential negative impact of observed increased head-down times to the compelling TARMAC display on unexpected outside scene obstacle detection was not substantiated.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
