Toronto Airport To Add Ground-Tracking Equipment
ADS-B solutions are being added to help reduce the risk of runway incursions.

Eighty ground vehicles at Toronto Pearson International Airport will soon be equipped with ADS-B-driven Squid transmitters to continuously track the position of tugs, de-icing equipment and fire and rescue vehicles. The new technology will minimize the risk of runway incursions, especially during low-visibility conditions. The Squid vehicle tracking system, built by Czech Republic-based ERA, is also used in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Istanbul and Singapore.
