TRACR
II®
systems are in place at many civil and military airports in North America
and overseas. Using touchscreen technology and a graphical user interface
in the vehicle-mounted Field Unit, TRACR II®
has brought new standards of accuracy and speed to Airfield Condition Reporting
since 1995.An operator can quickly specify an area of the airfield, select
conditions from a set of menus and attach Saab SFT, GripTester or TES
Decelerometer measurements or surface/air temperature readings to a
Condition Report.
The Base Unit will print a plain text report, use the graphical display
program to present the surface conditions for further analysis and
automatically distribute the report over local data distribution networks.
More than
50 TRACR II® systems are presently operating at
airports in North America and
worldwide. Recent installations include:
Field Unit
-
Remarkably easy to use - operators quickly learn the intuitive
graphical user interface, keeping training to a minimum.
-
To report on a section of runway the operator just touches the map
to select the section.
-
Context-sensitive menus provide comprehensive lists of conditions
selected by tapping the menu items on the screen.
-
System checks for entry errors continuously and displays error
messages in plain language.
-
Pressing the SEND icon transmits the Condition Report to the Base
Unit
-
Error-correcting data transfer protocol ensures reliable data
transmission across the dedicated cellular or data transceiver link.
 Base Unit
-
Base Unit automatically logs the new Condition Report, which is
already in electronic format so no time-consuming error-prone
transcription is needed.
-
Surface condition data may be reviewed and
analyzed at any time
using the printed output or the versatile graphical display program.
-
The TRACR II®
Base Unit can automatically distribute versions of a Condition Report
over local data distribution networks. This capability, combined with
automatic report logging, allows the Base Unit to run unattended.
