Abstract
Tower Control operation in the airport is handled by Air Traffic Controllers or similar type operators. Mainly, they manage the safety condition and situation by using various information through their eyes. However, sometimes condition would be severe by bad weather or time condition such as sunrise, sunset and night. Visual systems such as Computer Vision (CV), Augmented Reality (AR) can be a support technology to improve their operation under the severe visual condition. We introduce the research of remote tower concept which is advanced air traffic tower control by using AR systems as a new research orientation of support technology for the future work of Air Traffic Control Systems.
