RWSLs are fully automated systems of red lights that are designed to aid in preventing runway incursions and ground collisions. The RWSL system integrates airport lighting equipment with approach and surface surveillance radar systems to provide aircraft and vehicle crews a visual cue indicating when it is unsafe to enter/cross or begin/continue takeoff on the runway.
