REMOTE TOWER

CONTROL SEVERAL AIRPORTS FROM A SINGLE LOCATION

The technical solution enables an airport tower to be remotely operated via the digital network. Compressed data from cameras at the airport provides a 360-degree real-time view of the airport at the Remote Tower Centre. The controller working position is equipped with the same controls as in a normal tower.

Cost savings

The cost of running small and medium-sized airports consists largely of personnel costs. With the Remote Tower concept, fewer employees are needed to provide aerodrome control service, enabling airports that currently offer only Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) to offer a control service as well. In a secondary phase, one controller could potentially provide aerodrome control service for two to three towers simultaneously. Apart from staffing, costs savings can be achieved through not having to replace existing towers that have reached the end of their economically viable service life.

Enhanced safety and punctuality

In low visibility, the controller in a regular tower may not be able to see traffic at all. This can have an impact on safety and result in delays. Visibility enhancement technology in the Remote Tower concept helps the controller to see what is going on in the aerodrome area in low-visibility conditions.

Low-visibility procedures, often causing delays, will be required less frequently and punctuality will improve. Overlay of labels, MET info and a digital image enhancement will improve the information available to the controller. Increasing the controller’s situational awareness will lead to improved safety. Recording of the camera generated view allows play-back of traffic situations, useful for investigating incidents, further enhancing the concept’s safety benefits.

Contingency

The Remote Tower concept is perfectly suited for contingency at medium and large-sized airports. It offers a more cost-efficient solution than a contingency tower, with the freedom to place the control anywhere at the airport.

Survival or demise?

The Remote Tower is a breakthrough for airport operators and could be exactly what small and medium-sized airports need in order to survive. The long-term benefits of this concept are the reduced costs related to the construction and maintenance of airport control towers, as well as more efficient staffing of air-traffic services (ATS).
