NigelonDraft, RAAS was a good start but it is a reactionary tool much like the first generation GPWS.

On the other hand, airport navigation dislpays such as OANS give the pilots positional situational awareness all the way from the gate to the runway, not unlike how EGPWS TAD is a major enhancement to GPWS.
