NTSB Safety Recommendation
Require, at all airports with scheduled passenger
service, a ground movement safety system that
will prevent runway incursions. The system
should provide a direct warning capability to
flight crews. In addition, demonstrate through
computer simulations or other means that the
system will prevent incursions. A-00-66
