%X This paper aims to design an automated Global Reporting Format<span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡¯</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">s (GRF) application in
order to reduce time of manual application</span><span style=\"font-family:;\" \"=\"\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">(on a runway) of the Global Reporting Format
developed by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). A method has
been used to measure and generate Runway Condition Report (RCR) automatically.
The developed computing model is an autonomous and automatic application
implemented specially for West Africa (and can be extended to any rainy area).
It uses Arduino materials and computing code developed by the authors. Results
obtained show that using that method to retrieve the Runway Condition Report
(RCR) is fast, so human presence on the runway is reduced. Even though the
results obtained using this model are slightly different from those expected,
the actual runway conditions are not too much affected.</span>
