NASA technology gives pilots and air traffic controllers an early warning if another plane or ground vehicle is about to intrude onto the runway. The simulator is helping planners test ways to reduce airport delays, increase capacity and maintain safety. FutureFlight Central not only uses modern computer technology, but also permits controllers, pilots and ground personnel to perform their jobs during simulations of real-world changes.

Overcrowded airports mean overcrowded runways, taxiways and ramps.
