Interesting Nige! I guess we'll hear more in due course.
Ground traffic remains a major problem everywhere, I think. Some of the near-misses I've seen taxiing around LAX, for example, have been nothing short of scary.
I remember reading a fairly enlightening ATSB report into the near-miss involving a departure from 34L and another aircraft crossing the same runway under tow. It listed a plethora of shortcomings in the system (at that time) - have many of the procedures for ground vehicle ops changed since then?
