This paper describes the results of a Human-in-the-Loop simulation that took place in the Air Traffic Management Lab at MITRE/CAASD. The study explored the effectiveness of three different lighting configurations for the Final Approach Runway Occupancy Signal at preventing runway incursions. Pilots were presented with scenarios containing surface conflicts in which one of the three lighting configurations were used to alert air crews, in addition to scenarios that contained no conflicts. The results of the study suggest that all of the configurations were effective at preventing runway incursions, but that none of the configurations were significantly better than another.
