Safedock T1 A-VDGS is equipped with a digital laser and 3D scanning technology to accurately automate aircraft docking.
ADB says the technology works with all aircraft types, tight parking spaces and complex gate layouts.
SAM connects Safedock A-VDGS with other airport systems to share critical flight and turn information with flight and ground crews via Safedock’s in-built Ramp Information Display System.
Gap filler integration with the Advanced Surface Movement Guidance Control System constantly monitors aircraft movement in the gate area, and supports just-in-time activation of the docking systems and Follow-the-Greens (FtG) guidance.
FtG guidance uses the green runway and taxiway centreline lights and apron lead-in lights to guide aircraft into the gate area where the A-VDGS takes over and guides the pilot to the correct stop position.
Aziz Cakir, Vice President Middle East and Africa at ADB SAFEGATE says: “With this contract for apron systems, we are demonstrating how the airport can benefit from our integrated approach to airport performance spanning the gate, airfield, tower and analytics.”
