42 Advanced Ground Vehicle Technologies for Airside Operations would encompass both the non-movement area and the movement area. Baggage carts and dollies for cargo would be similar, although one would support passenger service and the other cargo service; in both cases the carts and dollies are typically pulled behind a tug in current practice.

Prioritized Airside Applications 43 Construction inspections ensure the safety of airport operations during construction and may include checks for the safe storage of construction materials, adequate construction barricades properly positioned and lit, and the monitoring of other potentially dangerous conditions. Emergency response may include technologies to support ARFF vehicles as well as other emergency response activities, and automation may enhance capabilities and reduce risks to humans when hazardous materials are involved.

44 Advanced Ground Vehicle Technologies for Airside Operations times. The ADS provides notice to the driver when they need to take control; however, there is some concern that a driver may not be able to respond rapidly enough to assess the situation and respond appropriately when control is shifted from automated operation to manual control during the L3 operation.
