Runway Alignment System (RAS)

The Runway Alignment System (RAS) is a GPS based guidance system that makes runway friction surveys completely automated. The RAS guides users through each pre-set run using GPS to guide the driver to the start point and through each run in sequence. It also ensures driver accuracy by using visual and audio cues to keep the driver on a straight, consistent line. This improves the quality of the friction data generated as it ensures that every survey covers the same area, resulting in easier comparisons
