Title: ADS-B while A/C or vehicle on the ground?
Post by: chungping on September 24, 2007, 02:58:29 PM: Has anyone ever tried it? Or is RB able to do it? ADS-B is not only used by aircraft but also by vehicles at some airports to track and identify vehicles on the airport surface. What does RB do if it receives this types of signals? Does it simply filter it out?

I'm not aware of ADS-B being used by any vehicles - what make you say that ?

Vehicles at EHAM are equipped with ADS-B for position tracking. These vehicles can be received and displayed by SBS-1/Basestation.

Did you see that through AirNav RB? Or SBS-1?
Thanks.
