Advanced visual docking guidance system A-VDGS

for airport

The world’s most advanced visual docking guidance system TK Airport Solutions has always been at the forefront of innovating visual docking guidance systems which are used by airports to guide pilots from the taxi way to the stop position on the airport apron. In 1992, we were the first to introduce laser-based technology. In 2013, we brought the patented transponder receiver into advanced visual docking guidance systems (A-VDGS) to ensure 100% accurate aircraft identification. Today, over 100 airports and airlines around the world boost daily operations with more than 2.500 installed A-VDGS from us.​ TK Airport Solutions continues to shape the future of airport mobility by bringing apron operations to the next level. With ApronVision, we introduce a new generation of Apron Operations Systems and lead the industry in its efforts to fully digitalize and automate the apron. ApronVision features a variety of different applications on the apron that extend far beyond today´s A-VDGS. While A-VDGS guide pilots precisely and safely to the stop position, ApronVision also enables integration with automated boarding bridge operations, collaborative turnaround management amongst stakeholders and live surveillance and control of all apron activities. Airports benefit from consolidation of the most critical turnaround processes and apron information in the Apron Operations Systems. 360° horizontal scanning angle Up to 360° horizontal scanning angle for parking guidance for multiple lead-in lines and wide obstacle scanning by one A-VDGS system.
