| Abstract | Pilots, controllers, and ground-vehicle operators all have an important role in runway safety. Their actions, either individually or collectively can cause or avert a runway incursion. The roles and responsibilities of pilots and controllers in this area are easily identifiable. However, the roles and responsibilities of ground-vehicle operator’s runway safety are equally important. In addition, other vehicle operators who drive primarily on non-movement area surfaces such as ramps, may occasionally have a need to operate on the movement area, i.e., runways and taxiways, or may inadvertently enter such areas. Consequently, the training of ground-vehicle operators is an important component of runway safety. The airport operator is responsible for seeing that the drivers on his or her airfield are properly trained. The driver-training curriculum at an airport should address the many factors involved in runway incursions and allow for discussion of these factors in an open forum. As part of this training, it is important to discuss emergency maneuvers that a driver may need to take and allow drivers to practice emergency avoidance maneuvers. Training in a vehicle simulator can help satisfy all these training objectives. This report addresses the use of low-cost driving simulators as one potential component of a comprehensive ground-vehicle operator-training program for the overall improvement of runway safety. |
