Abstract
To increase runway safety a new safety net for Tower Runway Controllers was developed which detects if controllers give a clearance to an aircraft or vehicle contradictory to another clearance already given to another mobile. In a shadow mode validation exercise with eleven controllers at the operational environment of the airport Hamburg (Germany) operational feasibility was tested in order to clarify if operational requirements in terms of usability are fulfilled. At the same time operational improvements regarding safety were studied e.g. if the new safety net detects all conflicts and if nuisance alerts are suppressed.
