A runway incursion is an incident at an airport which adversely affects runway safety, defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) on April 27, 2006, as:
Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft.
In October 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration dropped its own definition of "runway incursion" and adopted the above. The difference between the two was "that ICAO defines a runway incursion as any unauthorized intrusion onto a runway, regardless of whether or not an aircraft presents a potential conflict. For the FAA, an incident without an aircraft in potential conflict such as an unauthorized aircraft crossing an empty runway was defined as a 'surface incident' and not a runway incursion."
The Airport Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) is a computerized system that is intended to alert air traffic controllers to the potential for a runway incursion.
