The taxiing control ( ground ) is an air traffic control point in the tower that coordinates aircraft and other moving objects that are on the taxiway . On the apron areas at German airports, this object is either the roll control of the respective air traffic control provider, or from the apron control (Engl. Apron Control noticed the respective airport operator).

Taxi control is responsible for ensuring that aircraft and other moving objects do not collide on the runway. Among other things, it authorizes the start-up of the engines, issues taxiing instructions to the pilots and guides them along the taxiways towards their take-off or parking positions. The 'start-up' can also be issued by Flight Data , depending on the airport . Taxi control can also only be responsible for the taxiways that are located between the runway and the aprons (e.g. at Munich Airport ).

Technical aids include: a. Ground penetrating radar ( A-SMGCS ) and lighting systems are available.
