AO-0222-B — Full Guidance Assistance to mobiles using 'Follow the Greens' procedures based on Airfield Ground Lighting (aprons/taxiways/runways)

Using Airfield Ground Lighting, mobiles will be guided along their cleared route, taking into account tactical decisions (made by the Apron Manager, Tower Ground Controller and Tower Runway Controller) and known constraints from the surface management system. The Airfield Ground Lighting infrastructure will switch automatically the taxiway centerline lights and stop bars accordingly for each mobile individually. The operational service is capable of automatically supporting a safe longitudinal and lateral spacing between mobiles and also managing priorities between mobiles on the aerodrome surface in all weather conditions.
In the context of trajectory based operations, this 'follow the greens' concept does not prevent the ground routing to be made available in the cockpit, for both pilot and on-board systems, for safety purpose.

Rationale
There is a need of an advanced functionality of Airfield Ground Lighting that would cover the management of priorities to ensure lateral separation between mobiles on the movement area in all weather conditions.
