Navigation control and management system
Tower Link’s Navigation Control System replaces traditional voice-based coordination with a smart, digital routing platform.
Improve safety, reduce controller workload, and streamline airside vehicle operations — all in real time.
The Challenge



In the United States alone, nearly 2,000 runway incursions occur each year — many caused by human error and outdated coordination methods between ATC and ground vehicles.
With growing traffic and limited staffing, air traffic controllers are under immense pressure to manage both aircraft and vehicle movement across the airfield.
Despite the high stakes, most airports still rely on radio-based communication — increasing the risk of miscommunication, delays, and unsafe runway crossings.
Our Solution
Tower Link’s Digital Navigation System revolutionizes ground movement operations by replacing voice-based communication with a fully digital, real-time navigation process. Our system enhances safety, reduces ATC workload, and streamlines operations through an intuitive digital platform.

ATC-Controlled Routing
Air Traffic Control provides clear, visual routes directly to each driver’s screen. -
Runway Incursion Prevention
The system prevents unauthorized access to critical zones through smart alerts. -
Emergency Management
Enables swift rerouting and communication during emergency situations. -
Real-Time Monitoring
Live tracking ensures full visibility of all vehicle positions across the airfield. -
Seamless Integration
Works with existing infrastructure without the need for costly upgrades.
How It Works

ATC Reviews & Approves Route
ATC selects or adjusts a proposed route and sends it back to the user.
Operator requests destination via the mobile interface
The user selects a destination and submits a request via the mobile app.
Digital Navigation Begins
The user follows turn-by-turn navigation with real-time updates.
Safety Alerts & Emergency Management
If a vehicle deviates from the route, visual and vocal alerts notify both the user and ATC.
ATC Monitors & Manages Movement
ATC oversees the entire process and approves runway crossings when needed.
