The human factor in airport lighting

For the development of this work, it has been necessary to adapt the "Methodology for the Integration of the Human Factor in Risk Analysis" developed at Ineco and awarded by CANSO with the "Global Safety Achievement Award 2019", to the conditions of operation in airports and the different technologies of airport lighting systems.

Ineco, in collaboration with COPAC (Official Association of Commercial Aviation Pilots), has developed an innovative study related to airport lighting systems for the Global Company ADB SAFEGATE, which currently provides service to more than 2,500 airports on all continents.

Throughout this project, a risk assessment has been carried out based on the visual perception of experienced pilots specifically trained by Ineco to participate in this study. Through pilots’ feedback, our company's team has been able to determine, in a first approximation, whether the risk to operational safety could be increased by hypothetical combinations of LED-halogen and warm-cold LED lighting technologies in different airport visual aid systems, always based on ADB SAFEGATE LED Technology.

For the development of this work, it has been necessary to adapt the "Methodology for the Integration of the Human Factor in Risk Analysis" developed at Ineco and awarded by CANSO with the "Global Safety Achievement Award 2019", to the conditions of operation in airports and the different technologies of airport lighting systems.

Ineco's team, made up of aeronautical engineers, aeronautical psychologists, experts in Human Factors, safety and airport lighting, has been able to successfully face a challenge in research and development that has not been tackled until now and which could open the way to new, more sustainable, resilient and economic alternatives in the field of airport lighting.
