Through a literature review and a questionnaire distributed to airport personnel, data were collected to address the study's main points of focus as follows: • Communication protocols and systems currently in use, • Winter operational protocols in use, • Human factors that affect personnel, • Equipment and vehicle design factors that play a role in prevention, • Training or training systems used by airports, and • The availability of commercial displays or warning systems to prevent incursions. Throughout the report, examples from incident reports and from survey respondents are included to help highlight the problems and solutions that airport operators experience during winter operations.

• Study expanding the Runway Incursion Information and Evaluation Program to include airport operators, as a means for better understanding the nature of errors that occur during winter operations. • Study revising the vehicle purchasing parameters to encourage the acquisition of safety-related devices and more powerful vehicles to maximize visibility, minimize driver fatigue, and reduce the time spent on the runway.
