Air traffic control towers

Air traffic control towers

Visibility at all times

Operators at airport towers have to control traffic and safeguard operations in varying light conditions. In order to make critical information available at all times, tower control displays need to guarantee readability during daytime high bright conditions as well as nighttime darkness. Barco's Tower Control Displays present the most detailed information with superior image quality at all times and hereby significantly reduce eye fatigue.
High-performance traffic visualization

Tower operators are working with an integrated view of a wide variety of sources. Barco's visualization components for airport environments visualize air surveillance situations with a high number of dynamic flight objects, optionally combined with radar video overlay. A wide range of external information, such as map, weather and flight plan data can be mixed.
Maximum safety and reduced workload

Barco's advanced ATC decision support tools propose optimized arrival and departure sequences for maximum inbound and outbound punctuality while reducing runway queues. By considering separation requirements for the successive arrivals and takeoffs at all planning stages, Barco's decision support tools ensure maximum safety. What's more, Barco's decision support software reduces the ATC workload and improves the workload distribution by providing advice on when the next ATC clearance or instruction should be given.

Airport/Airline operations centres

As the central control and information hub, the airport/airline operations centre needs to efficiently coordinate all airport operational activities and ensure security of the airport infrastructure at all times. Up-to-date information needs to be shared between various shareholders (airlines, airports, ANSPs) in order to maximize throughput capacity, maintain safety and minimize delays and impact on the environment. Barco provides a real-time collaborative work environment for monitoring, response dispatching/co-ordination, access/flow control, recording and overall systems control for 24/7 operations.

Barco's managed traffic monitoring and control solution consists of a high-quality display, a controller and wall management software. Multiple rear-screen projection modules can be combined into a display wall of any size. Latest generation graphic controllers allow for virtually unlimited integration of data and video sources into one comprehensive overview. Open wall management software guarantees seamless integration with today's leading Traffic Management solutions.
