The Runway Safety Monitor (RSM) was developed by Lockheed Martin in support of NASA's Runway Incursion Prevention System (RIPS) research. This work was conducted under the NASA Aviation Safety and Security Program's Synthetic Vision System project. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has, for a number of years, listed runway incursions on its most wanted list of transportation safety improvements in aviation. The NTSB has made a recommendation to stop runway incursions/ground collisions of aircraft and give immediate warnings of these events directly to flight crews in the cockpit. The NTSB recommendation is consistent with the goal of NASA RIPS research to investigate technology and generate requirements for an aircraft based system than can eliminate runway incursions. RSM is an important step in realizing the NASA RIPS research goal. The RSM algorithm is a software package that runs on the aircraft to detect hazardous situations that cause runway incursions as early as possible and alert the flight crew in time to take necessary corrective or evasive action. RSM is a component of the overall RIPS research software that also includes advanced data communications, real-time graphics displays and aural warnings to provide pilots with enhanced situational awareness.
