Is there some way with existing technology, that a pilot could alert ground personnel that he is on takeoff roll?
I have a system that has always worked for me but would not be universal. So far, every time I've been cleared for takeoff, I've been sitting at the hold-short line, ready to go. When I acknowledge the takeoff clearance, I add the word "rolling" to the end -- as in "3162 Kebec, rolling."
As I understand this situation, though, one aircraft had already been cleared for takeoff after another one. In that case, the clearance for that aircraft would be issued some time before the aircraft actually starts the takeoff run, so it would not be appropriate for the pilot to say he's taking off.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
