One of the main challenges at Dublin Airport is to maintain capacity and throughput. Dublin Airport is a major hub for Ryan Air and Air Lingus. Peak traffic amounts to approximately 43 flights per hour, of which 80% is handled by a single runway. Even at 02:00 AM there are still 31 flights per hour.
The A3000 A-SMGCS replaces the previous system of ground movement control. The new system provides tracking, automatic labelling, alerting and stop bar control.
