The Runway Status Lights (RWSL) system accepts, in addition to ASDE-3 surface primary radar data, a stream of surveillance inputs from the prototype ASDE-X combination of sensors (including Mode S multilateration, ATCRBS multilateration, ASR-9 primary/secondary radar, and ADS-B data sources) under evaluation at the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport. Fused surveillance data from these sensors is used to detect potentially hazardous conditions and to operate warning lights-Takeoff Hold Lights (THLs) and Runway Entrance Lights (RELs)-placed at strategic locations on the airport surface. However, if the input ASDE-X/DFW surveillance data contains anomalies and inaccuracies, the RWSL safety logic output may be incorrect.
