Innovation Description and Benefit:
Installing an ABLE 2 siren and 100-watt speaker in pilot cars provides an effective audible warning system for ground crews during traffic operations. The electric horn function delivers a distinctive alert without startling workers, reducing the risk of injury from equipment or passing vehicles. This innovation enhances situational awareness, improves safety, and has been widely appreciated by crews for its positive impact on daily operations.
