You don't necessarily need a system that scales all the way down to tiny airports.
Major airports like Haneda presumably already have things like stop-bar lighting, for operating in foggy weather. If we already know where each aircraft is, and whether they're permitted to cross the stop bar right now - I can believe this runway incursion could have been detected.

This fact was promulgated in a NOTAM in effect at the time. https://www.businessinsider.com/japan-jet-crash-runway-warning-lights-reportedly-werent-working-2024-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/japan-jet-crash-runway-warni...
