RELIANCE Control Systems for the ICAO Market
 
Our RELIANCE Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS) is used to control and monitor all Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) equipment installed on the airfield and supports the efficient and safe maneuvering of all ground traffic at an airfield. This is typically achieved by using a series of computers and Programmable Logical Controllers (PLCs) that transfer the ATC operator’s commands to the various devices in the field, monitor their status and provide the appropriate feedback to the operator and maintenance staff. The ADB SAFEGATE RELIANCE ALCS product family for regional and international hub airports ranges from simple to most complex systems with server-based architecture, enabling selection and specific adaptation of AGL control features for all sizes and levels of complexity; also allowing for integration with other airport systems.
 
The RELIANCE family of control systems comprises:
 
RELIANCE Custom 
 
RELIANCE Custom provides the most flexible functionality that allow an airport to tailor and integrate the system with any other tower systems. With RELIANCE Custom there is no limitation for the airport. The airport can use the system to support any operational concept that will provides the best integrated solution for safety and efficiency for the airport operations.
 
On top of the functionality in the RELIANCE Enhanced, then RELIANCE Custom also provides Floating routing-guidance (also called Follow the Greens or just FTG). The standard ASTERIX interface provides Radar Tracks with flight destination (gate or runway) information that are used to automatic assign the best routes and automatic control the taxiway light, while prioritizing traffic and avoiding conflicts. If the aircraft does not comply to the cleared taxi routes (route deviations, infringements or over-run) alerts are provided to the controller handling the aircraft.
 
The RELIANCE Customs can provide all type of open interfaces that allow exchange of data between tower system via both standard and tailored protocols.
 
The RELIANCE Customs allow for any further functional adaptions to existing or new applications and the ADB SAFEGATE development process fully supports the airports while developing the concepts and while constructing and proving the operational Safety Case.
 
RELIANCE Custom can also be integrated with any other airport systems like Statistical Analysis tools, Billing systems, Asset management Systems, Operational Databases and more, typical to further capitalize and streamline the system with other operational systems.
