We have developed the Airport Surface Surveillance System (ASSS) to enhance safety and efficiency of traffic control on the airport surface. The ASSS is capable of detecting aircraft on the airport surface using Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE), and displays detected aircraft as graphical symbols on the screen together with a call-sign, aircraft type, and so on. However, it is not possible to detect with radar when there is an obstruction between it and the radar. Therefore, ASSS cannot detect the aircraft with radar alone. So, we developed the TV surveillance system which detects the position of the aircraft using the TV image. The experimental results at Sendai Airport, Japan, will be shown.
