		Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS): AMASS builds on the ASDE-3 radar information by adding conflict detection and warning logic that visually and aurally warns air traffic controllers that a runway incursion is about to, or has, occurred.
		Airport Surface Detection Equipment – Model X (ASDE-X): The next generation of the ASDE-3 is known as the ASDE-X. The FAA awarded the ASDE-X contract to the Sensis Corporation in November 2000.
		When surveillance data from ASDE-3 and other airport radar indicate that an aircraft with a trajectory aligned with a runway is landing or taking off, or otherwise approaching an intersection with a taxiway, the red lights at that intersection are automatically illuminated.

	Linate Crash Highlights Limitations of Radar Technology to Prevent Runway Collisions Air Safety Week - Find Articles
		The centerpiece technology in the campaign against runway incursions and collisions might not have helped in the fatal October 2001 crash of two jets at Milan's Linate airport.
		The absence of a functioning ground radar was one of the factors that led Robert Baron to apprehend that the airport was "ripe" for a serious ground incident.
		Without a ground surveillance radar akin to airport surface detection equipment (ASDE) in the United States, the tower controllers essentially were blind to the developing disaster.

		Italian authorities have ordered the closure of a connecting runway at Linate airport in Milan, where a collision on Monday led to the death of 118 people in Italy's worst aviation disaster.
		Preliminary investigations have indicated that the causes of the disaster appear to have been misunderstandings between Italian flight controllers and the Cessna's German pilots, poor signals on the connecting runway, and thick fog.
		Some reports suggest that the Cessna's pilots may have believed they were on a different taxiway which did not cross the runway.

		The Italian Interior Ministry quickly ruled out any connection with the September 11 terrorism and attributed the disaster to ``human error'' and the thick fog that covered the airport that morning.
		According to the APPL pilots' union, the accident might have been avoided had the airport's ground radar, which tracks the movement of aircraft on the runways, been activated.
		To compensate for the temporary loss of radar, in conditions of low visibility the rule was that all aircraft were banned from crossing runways, said Osvaldo Gammino, president of a committee representing airlines at Linate Airport.

	Italian judge blames lack of ground radar, air traffic inefficiency for Linate crash - Irna
		An Italian judge said Tuesday that an out-of-service ground radar unit at a Milan airport and confusion in the control tower were key factors in the 2001 crash of an SAS airliner and a small aircraft that killed 118 people, ANSA said.
		Three of those convicted in March were employees of Italy's air traffic control agency, ENAV, and one was an official at Milan's Linate airport, where the crash occurred.
		Clivio wrote that those convicted were responsible for the inefficiency of the air traffic control unit and for leaving the airport's ground radar out of service, ANSA and Apcom said.

	Tenerife disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Upon viewing their airport maps, the crew realized that leaving the runway at exit C3 would mean a 135° left turn onto the exit, and a 135° right turn onto the taxiway (for a simplified map of the runway and exits see Collision).
		Since this maneuver is a difficult task for a 747 on an undersized airport, analysis of the CVR recording suggests that the crew assumed that Tenerife ATC must have ordered them to turn at the next exit, C4, which was only 45°.
		In addition, neither of the aircraft could be seen from the control tower, and the airport was not equipped with ground radar.
