Zusammenfassung
To foresee and avoid potential conflicts on the ground is a major safety
issue for today’s airports in the face of runway incursions. Surface moving maps
can support pilots’ awareness by providing positional information on own-ship and
other traffic. While this is surely of great help to detect potential conflicts it does
not promote the human need to predict future developments, as only current status
information is presented at the moment. The display of traffic intent information,
e.g. a prediction of future own-ship and positions of other traffic, is a new concept
that has been developed and tested for free flight operations. Now the first attempt
was made to transfer this concept to surface moving maps. This paper will
elaborate on why information about future developments is crucial for operators in
safety-critical environments. It will further provide a short introduction on the
status quo of traffic intent information research and finally present open questions
on the display of intent information to be tackled by future research.
