“…Although the primary purpose of ASDE-X is to support Air Traffic Control Tower staff with a real-time display of the position of airport objects (aircraft and vehicles), there are many additional potential applications of the surveillance data received by the system. As support to the SSMT project, the Saab Sensis Corporation developed algorithms and processes to detect and characterize anomalies on the airport surface and estimate the effect of these anomalies on airport efficiency using the ASDE-X surveillance feed (Waldron, 2009 andBorener, 2011). The algorithms used in this study extracted three categories of potentially anomalous behavior on the airport surface: 1) sudden stops, 2) irregular turns and 3) route excursions.…”

To justify an investment in a safety-related program, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration must develop a business justification with a positive return on investment. While the assumed value of an avoided aviation accident is quite large, the rarity of such events many times makes a business case built strictly on safety metrics untenable. It is therefore helpful to examine if there are efficiency or capacity impacts related to the investment. One area of interest to the aviation safety community is fatigue and pilot effectiveness. Previous research has examined the connection between operator fatigue and accident frequency. In this study, we examine the relationships between pilot effectiveness, measured surface anomalies, and archived operational efficiency data at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Memphis International Airport to provide evidence to support future taxi path conformance or crew rest requirement investments.
