Virtual ramp control (VRC) implementations have increasingly been occurring at airports over the past 5 years. More airport operators are interested in potentially implementing a VRC system as the technology proves viable.

ACRP Research Report 256: Virtual Airport Ramp Control Operations Facilities: A Guide, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, aims to develop a guide that provides U.S. airport operators and their stakeholders with a roadmap and key information for implementing VRC systems at airports of all sizes.
