The pushback process involves close collaboration between various organizations and operators, each following their own procedures. To help pushback drivers follow the correct pushback procedure according to the instructions given by the Ground Controller, Schiphol, LVNL and Ground Handlers are exploring a new tool called the Pushback Support Tool. This tool will be implemented on a tablet, which will be placed in the pushback truck’s cabin.
The main goal of the Pushback Support Tool is to support pushback drivers in performing their tasks safely and accurately. This is seen as a promising way to reduce risks during the pushback process.
