Methods and systems for intuitive hot spot demarcation

A system comprising:

• an airport mapping system;
• an aircraft;
• and
• a computing system configured to:
• receive map and hot spot data for a taxi route for the aircraft;
• display, on a display interface, a representation of the taxi route based on the map and hot spot data, wherein the representation includes a graphical overlay that conveys a position of each hot spot located along the taxi route;
• monitor, based on traffic data, movement of traffic relative to the taxi route;
• detect traffic located proximate a hot spot and within a threshold distance from the aircraft;
• and
• based on detecting traffic located proximate the hot spot and within the threshold distance from the aircraft, provide an alert via the display interface.

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions, that when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving map and hot spot data for a taxi route for an aircraft;
• displaying, on a display interface, a representation of the taxi route based on the map and hot spot data, wherein the representation includes a graphical overlay that conveys a position of each hot spot located along the taxi route;
• monitoring, based on traffic data, movement of traffic relative to the taxi route;
• detecting traffic located proximate a hot spot and within a threshold distance from the aircraft;
• and
• based on detecting traffic proximate the hot spot and within the threshold distance from the aircraft, providing an alert via the display interface.
