  • Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons
    REPORT TO CONGRESS Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons Prepared by U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Office of the Associate Administrator for Airports July 2002 I. Executive Summary Section 520 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) required the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct the study described below and report the results to Congress by April 5, 2001: The Administrator shall conduct a study to determine the number of persons working at airports who are injured or killed as a result of being struck by a moving vehicle while on an airport tarmac, the seriousness of the injuries to such persons, and whether or not reflective safety vests or other actions should be required to enhance the safety of such workers. A review of the FAA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) databases found that between 1985 and August 2000, 11 workers were fatally injured when struck by vehicles on airport aprons. Of the 11 fatalities, only two occurred between 1995 and 2000. Increased emphasis on ramp safety by the airline industry and airports could be a contributing factor to the decline in “struck by” injuries. The lack of comprehensive nonfatal injury data makes it impossible to determine accurately the number and severity of nonfatal struck by injuries. The data suggest that airline industry workers actually sustain significantly fewer struck by injuries than workers in most other industries.

  • Governance Without Malice Or Victimisation
    March 20th 2020 Excerpts from the 2020 Budget Address PRYME and Grenadines Development Introduction Budget 2020 introduces a special, youth-focussed initiative that merits discussion today. That initiative, called the Promotion of Youth Microenterprises (PRYME) programme, seeks to put $2 million in grant funds in the hands of young businesspersons in 2020. Youth-run microenterprises face a number of challenges to growth, including capital constraints, inadequate skills, and insufficient discipline. The PRYME programme will complement existing entrepreneurial-support initiatives by identifying promising microenterprises and start-ups that could benefit from appropriate injections of financial or managerial capital. The PRYME programme will employ a seed capital grant strategy to facilitate its clients’ movement toward empowerment and greater economic self-reliance. By and large, PRYME clients would not be able to risk taking a loan because they have no spare income to make payments if their enterprises do not generate an immediate profit. A PRYME grant, in contrast to credit, exposes clients to much less risk and allows them to grow a business without immediate loan servicing pressures. However, a PRYME grant is not an unconditional giveaway. Clients will have to meet various preconditions or on-going reporting obligations, based on the type of business and size of grant. At a minimum, all clients will have to successfully complete basic training in bookkeeping and sound financial management. Recipients of larger grants will have to complete an approved business plan, allow for scrutiny of their accounts by PRYME officials, and have their grants awarded in stages, with later stages contingent upon the achievement of agreed prior actions and targets.

  • BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23Rd January, 2006 by Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr
    BUDGET ADDRESS 2006 Delivered in the House of Assembly on Monday 23rd January, 2006 By Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr. The Honourable Ralph Gonsalves INTRODUCTION Mr. Speaker, Honourable Members On December 7, 2005, the people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines overwhelming re-elected the Unity Labour Party (ULP) to govern our magnificent country for another five-year term. The ULP secured a whopping 56 per cent of the valid votes cast and won 12 of the 15 seats. This landslide electoral victory was a massive endorsement of the ULP administration’s policies, programmes and performance. It is, too, a mandate for the ULP to consolidate, to refine, to deepen, and to extend its excellent work, policy framework and programmatic platform, as articulated in its Manifesto 2005, Better By Far! and the ULP Youth Manifesto 2005. A copy of each of these Manifestos was tendered as documents of this Honourable House during the recent debate on the 2006 Estimates. Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the overall losers in the recently-concluded general elections unfairly maligned the sound reputation of our country and the good name of honest public officials and political leaders by falsely alleging that they — the overall losers — were in possession of “overwhelming evidence” of electoral fraud and electoral irregularities on a scale so large as to vitiate the verdict of the electorate. They falsely alleged that there was somehow a conspiracy of monumental proportions, involving election officials and the top brass of the Unity Labour Party, to steal the elections. They further alleged, falsely too, that the elections were in fact stolen and that they had the so-called “overwhelming evidence” to prove it all in the High Court by way of election petitions.

  • ICAO Safety Report |2020
    SAFETY Safety Report 2020 Edition Foreword A Coordinated, Risk-based Approach to Improving Global Aviation Safety The air transport industry plays a major role in global economic activity and development. One of the key elements to maintaining the vitality of civil aviation is to ensure safe, secure, efficient and environmentally sustainable operations at the global, regional and national levels. A specialized agency of the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was established in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international civil aviation throughout the world. ICAO promulgates Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) to facilitate harmonized regulations in aviation safety, security, efficiency and environmental protection on a global basis. Today, ICAO manages over 12 000 SARPs across the 19 Annexes and five Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), many of which are constantly evolving in tandem with latest developments and innovations. ICAO serves as the primary forum for co-operation in all fields of civil aviation among its 193 Member States. Improving the safety of the global air transport system is ICAO’s guiding and most fundamental strategic objective. The Organization works constantly to address and enhance global aviation safety through the following coordinated activities: • Policy and Standardization; • Monitoring of key safety trends and indicators; • Safety Analysis; and • Implementing programmes to address safety issues. The ICAO Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) presents the strategy in support of the prioritization and continuous improvement of aviation safety. The GASP sets the goals and targets and outlines key safety enhancement initiatives (SEIs) aimed at improving safety at the international, regional and national levels.

  • Aircraft Push-Back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-Based Object Detection and Activity Identification
    Aircraft Push-back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-based Object Detection and Activity Identification Thai Van Phat∗, Sameer Alam∗, Nimrod Lilith∗, Phu N. Tran† and Binh T. Nguyen‡ ∗Saab-NTU Joint Lab, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore †Air Traffic Management Research Institute, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore ‡AISIA Research Lab, University of Science, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Abstract—An accurate prediction of aircraft readiness for departure can help Air Traffic Control (ATC) plan an optimal pre-departure sequence at which aircraft are dispatched from the parking stands. This dynamic mechanism between predicting when all ground handling activities end (Target Off Block Time) and the pre-departure sequencing (Target Start-up Approval time) is the core of Airport Collaborative Decision Making. This turnaround process consists of several activities (fueling, board- ing/deboarding, loading/unloading, etc.) and involves several ground support types of equipment and vehicles. In this research, we propose a visual-analytic approach for detection, tracking such activities to predict the Target Off Block Time (push-back time). This research introduces a Convolutional Neural Networks based video-analytic framework that can monitor the aircraft turnaround processes, including object detection, object tracking, activity detection, and push-back prediction. It recognizes an aircraft type and retrieves turnaround process/activities from its Aircraft Performance Manual and then detects and tracks various activities to estimate their completion time with high accuracy. Live Gate Cam video data was collected from the Gate 3 at Tokachi-Obihiro airport, in Hokkaido, Japan. We used 16 videos with the corresponding lengths varying from 40 to 60 minutes for training and five videos for testing.
