Description
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION - AUTONOMOUS GROUND VEHICLE SYSTEMS
1. Background
The testing and use of Autonomous Ground Vehicle Systems (AGVS) in and around airports has become more prevalent, both domestically and internationally. Increased demand for more efficient airport operations coupled with projected labor shortages has driven growing interest and testing of driverless technologies for a range of airport-related applications. These include but are not limited to self-driving jet bridges, aircraft tugs, baggage carts, de-icing, snow removal equipment, grass-cutting vehicles, employee buses, maintenance vehicles, and passenger shuttles. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) published two guidance documents (see attachments), which are designed to assist airport sponsors with testing AGVS:
Part 139 CertAlert 24-02: Autonomous Ground Vehicle Systems (AGVS) Technology on Airports Emerging Entrants Bulletin 25-02, Testing and Demonstrating Autonomous Ground Vehicle Systems (AGVS) at Federally Obligated AirportsThe FAA-s Airport Technology Research and Development Branch has been tasked by the FAA Office of Airports Safety and Standards to conduct research to evaluate the operational needs, safety, and security risks associated with the use of AGVS on the movement areas, safety areas, and non-movement areas of an airport.
2. Purpose
The FAA is seeking input from:
• Designers and manufacturers of AGVS technology
• Airport sponsors and stakeholders (end-users) that currently operate or are evaluating AGVS technology
The responses received will be used to assess the state of technology and assist the FAA in directing research for the development of minimum standards and guidance for the AGVS design and operation within the airport environment. The information obtained will be used to keep pace with this emerging technology and to assess its potential impacts- such as on airport security, operational efficiency, and pas...
