You could put a TCAS on every ground vehicle. It's not rocket science. Yes, I know it probably costs $300k, surely today you can have a $10k ground version. You could also show every plane on a screen inside the vehicle and have some loud alarms if they are on a collision path. You could even just display FlightRadar24, still better than nothing. You would still get permission for the tower, this would not be an allow system, just a deny system. | ||

> You could put a TCAS on every ground vehicle. It's not rocket science. TCAS on planes is disabled below 1000±100' (~300m) AGL (above ground level). ADS-B on vehicles is already a thing (and FAA certified): * https://uavionix.com/airports-and-atm/vtu-20/ There are three categories of runway incursion types: operator/ATC error, pilot error, pedestrian/vehicle. Even if someone 'knows' that they need to "hold short runway 12", they can still have a brain fart and go through the hold short line. Unless you want to argue that all vehicles taxiing have to operate (SAE Level 4) autonomously? | ||
