Abstract: A method includes obtaining medial axes of buffers around guidance lines of taxiways of an airport. The buffers define a taxiway polygon representation of the taxiways. The method includes identifying a plurality of intersection points of the medial axes. The method includes segmenting the taxiway polygon into taxiway segments with segment lines based on the plurality of intersection points, where a particular segment line associated with an intersection point is offset a distance from the intersection point and is at a particular angle relative to a medial axis extending from the intersection point. The method further includes generating a map of the airport that includes the taxiway segments.

Abstract: A system and a method include a control unit configured to monitor one or more values of one or more aircraft at one or more airports, and compare the one or more values with one or more attributes of one or more airport maps associated with the one or more airports to determine accuracy of the one or more airport maps.

Abstract: A system and a method include a control unit including one or more processors configured to receive first data associated with expected movement of a vehicle system and second data associated with actual movement of the vehicle system. The control unit is configured to compare the first and second data to determine one or more differences between the first and second data. A responsive action is initiated by the control unit responsive to determining that the one or more differences are outside a designated threshold.
