The network consists of the system being deployed to the 33 NPIAS\nairports throughout Maine. This level of deployment is the first of its kind in\nthe nation. Transportation agencies can now capture critical aircraft data, for\nuse in aviation system planning with the recently released G.A.R.D.- Dashboard\nADS-B technology. Invisible Intelligence has provided a tool to assist the\nMaineDOT in its goal to provide accurate aircraft counts to the airports and\nthe FAA. Gone are the days of guesstimating aircraft operations and critical\naircraft usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/systemcheck1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17321\" width=\"333\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/systemcheck1.png 966w, https:\/\/stateaviationjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/systemcheck1-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><figcaption><em>G.A.R.D. System Check<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe live in a data driven world, it is only logical that we\nuse accurate aircraft usage data to design our airports,\u201d said Ron Cote,\nCo-Owner at Invisible Intelligence. Since 2012, Invisible Intelligence has\nbecome the national leader in aviation operation count software. The company\noffers a wide range of products and services designed to assist general\naviation airports. The G.A.R.D. system provides operation counts through the\nuse of audio recordings of the pilots utilizing the individual airports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system was originally created to provide airports with\nactual audio recordings to be used for safety training and accident\ninvestigation, but it was soon discovered they could be used to determine\noperation counts as well with over 90% accuracy. The most recent technology\nthat Invisible Intelligence has taken advantage of is ADS-B.&nbsp; With ADS-B inclusion, operations count\naccuracy will not only be increased, but airports and states will now be able\nto know the actual aircraft using the airport. Knowing which aircraft use the\nairport will aid in generating the most reliable determination of critical\naircraft needed by the airport to define the correct FAA design standards to\nuse. The ADS-B data will also allow the airports to determine the origin of the\nincoming flights, thereby aiding municipalities in knowing their customers. For\nthose airports with multiple runways, the G.A.R.D. with ADS-B tracking system\nwill also allow airports to track individual runway usage by using the\ngeofencing technology installed in the new software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regards to transportation agencies, the new system\ncomes with the G.A.R.D. Check system. This allows the agency to monitor each\nsystem that has been deployed, gather daily operations counts, give a sense of\naircraft with ADS-B and ensuring the systems are working properly (notification\nof a nightly backup).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur agency has wanted to be able to get accurate operations\ncounts at our NPIAS airports for a number of years now\u201d stated Tim LeSiege the\nAviation Engineer at the Maine Department of Transportation.&nbsp; \u201cIn the past, we had the original G.A.R.D.\nsystem deployed at just over half of our NPIAS airports and would receive only\nmonthly reports of operations. The original system didn\u2019t have the G.A.R.D\nCheck technology. This is one of the many reasons we upgraded and did a\nstatewide deployment. We are now able to monitor the system each morning and\ncan see operations counts for each of our airports because the new systems\nupload summary data nightly to our Department.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many customers nationwide have already benefitted from\nInvisible Intelligence\u2019s G.A.R.D systems. Invisible Intelligence believes that\nthe addition of ADS-B to the G.A.R.D family and the system check software will\nbe a huge help to agencies on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve created a product that will help the aviation\ncommunity, airport planning efforts and airport design efforts\u201d according to\nCote. The team at Invisible Intelligence look forward to helping the aviation\nindustry with better aircraft operation counts, better critical aircraft\ndeterminations, better scheduling, situational safety trainings using actual\npilot communications data, and better accident reconstruction using audio\nrecordings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Invisible Intelligence, LLC and the Maine Department of Transportation, recently completed installation, testing and implementation of a statewide network of their signature product, the G.A.R.D. system with ADS-B tracking.
