IMS4 ARWIS 2014

Product catalog summary

Overview: The IMS4 ARWIS (Airport Runway Weather Information System) is designed to provide airport authorities with critical data on runway surface conditions. It utilizes real-time data from field sensors and forecasts to detect and predict conditions such as ice, freezing rain, snow accumulation, and thawing. This system enhances air traffic safety and aids in runway maintenance planning.

Key Features:

Detection and prediction of runway conditions.
Alarms for hazardous phenomena.
Effective de-icing capabilities.
Support for both intrusive and non-intrusive sensors.
Multiple sensor interfaces including modem, fiber optic, and wireless.
Operates as a standalone system or integrates with AWOS/AWDSS.
Runway condition data accessible online.

Field Sensors: The system interfaces with various sensors to measure runway and subsurface temperatures, freezing points, water film thickness, and conditions (e.g., dry, wet, icy). Optional weather stations can measure additional parameters like air pressure, wind speed, and precipitation.

System Architecture: The IMS4 ARWIS is modular and scalable, allowing easy adaptation to existing airport infrastructure. It supports various sensor interfaces and data formats, ensuring quality control through data validation and verification.

Server and Forecasting: The IMS4 ARWIS server, available as a standard or dual hot failover cluster, collects and processes data, distributing it to displays and third-party systems. It interfaces with NWP models for runway condition predictions, providing nowcasts and 12-hour forecasts.

Alarms and Displays: The system includes configurable alarms for hazardous conditions, allowing proactive maintenance. Customizable displays provide runway data and warnings, accessible via a built-in web server for local and remote users.

System Components: IMS4 ARWIS is part of the Aviation Weather Decision Support System, featuring a built-in runway condition forecast model. It includes a web and application server, configuration wizards, and security mechanisms for user access control.

System Requirements and Compliance:

Requires a standard server or dual hot-failover cluster.
Compatible with Linux or Windows 7/Server 2008.
Supports Mozilla Firefox browser.
Complies with ISO 9001:2008, CAA certification, and ICAO standards.
