Luftfartsverket Selects Sensis VeeLo NextGen for Vehicle Tracking at Stockholm Arlanda International Airport

The Sensis VeeLo NextGen vehicle locator met or exceeded our requirements, said Anders Andersson, ATM system manager of LFV. Using VeeLo NextGen will greatly improve the surveillance of vehicles operating on the surface of Arlanda in all weather conditions. VeeLo NextGen attains its location from a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)-enabled Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and broadcasts its location and identity using the Mode S Extended Squitter Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) message format. The VeeLo NextGens rugged, weather-resistant enclosure can be temporarily or permanently mounted on the exterior of an airport surface vehicle. Its low power consumption allows VeeLo NextGen to be operated from a vehicles accessory power outlet. Further, the vehicle locator can be field-configured using a PC serial interface and VeeLo NextGen software. VeeLo NextGen has the unique ability to automatically shut off transmission when the vehicle exits a predetermined operating area, said Marc Viggiano, chief operating officer of Sensis Corporation. This enables air navigation service providers to better manage limited broadcast spectrum. Ten air navigation service providers have selected Sensis VeeLo NextGen for deployment at more than twelve airports across four continents.
