Airport Information Systems

This excess of information can be ciphered through and used as a baseline starting point for a new facility management process. By combining the old data with new data, the software provided with the new system along with an access point can allow data to build and improve upon the capability of the older system. Analytic tools such as those provided by the new system can help to reduce energy use and provide improvement to current operations, not only on a facility efficiency level, but on the financial side of facility management as well.

The Denver Airport Project is made up of individuals and groups from different areas of the organization with a specified

Airports are the heart of travel for many to conveniently travel from one location to another, whether the distance was 50 miles or internationally. With the advancements in technology, it has provided the ability for individuals to have access to parts of the world that once only been available to a select few. With such technological advances, our society will not be able to rewind back to

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) forever changed the way airports were classified when it was unveiled in 1982 (Wells, 2011). The aviation industry had grown significantly since deregulation went into effect, and a new system needed to be put in place that would distinguish airports with incredible growth and expansion from those that served niche markets or flight training (Wells). Under the NPIAS, airports were broken down into three major categories: commercial services airports, reliever airports, and general aviation airports (Wells). The following paragraphs describe the three categories of airports that were created by the NPIAS, and conclude with an airport that fits into that particular category today.

Today the Transportation Security Administration has advanced airport technology with bottle liquid scanners, an explosive detection system and baggage security. In response to an underwear bombing the Transportation Security Administration instituted more rigorous passenger screening methods (Liberman,

NextGen is a tremendous, historic shift to revamp the U.S. air transportation system. This all-embracing initiative integrates new and existing policies, procedures, and technologies, including satellite navigation and advanced digital communications. Two major parts of this upgrade and modernization include, but not limited to, Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) and En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM). These systems enable NextGen capabilities in all phases of flight and safety. STARS for instance, replaces multiple automation systems for controllers who provide control services to pilots in terminal airspace and the airspace immediately surrounding major airports. Additionally, ERAM combines flight plan information with surveillance data from Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Wide Area Multi-lateration, and radar to automate many air traffic control functions. Other parts of ERAM include, System Wide Information Management (SWIM), which provides the digital data-sharing backbone of NextGen. SWIM also connects producers and users of data with a common language and single point of contact to access aeronautical, flight, and weather information. ADS-B sends out broadcasts of an aircraft's position, altitude, and velocity to a network of ground stations that relays the information to air traffic control displays and nearby aircraft that are equipped to receive the data. Each component delivers specific capabilities to provide integration and smooth traffic flow to reduce

The airline industry operations depend largely on the usage of technology, appropriate IT infrastructure should be considered. Technology makes this industry accessible through the usage of the internet from booking the ticket, online check in and using the Wi-Fi online. The domestic operations on the SAA have not match up with the usage of Wi-Fi on air.

With the rapid growth of commercial air travel in the 1970s, the FAA recognized that the nation’s airports contributed significantly to the national economy and international commerce, as well as being a critical mode of transport for the public. Airports needed funding to improve safety and maintain airport infrastructure such as runways, taxiways, NAVAIDS, and land acquisition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) formed the National Airport System Plan (NASP) to ensure these significant airports received Federal grants to make these improvements. The FAA revised the NASP with the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 and called the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) to reflect the further expansion.

The technology to communicate between the airlines is available and the customers do expect that the airlines share their passenger information for connecting flights.

Instead of multiple systems “talking” to one another, all systems will interface with SWIM, which will then disseminate the information as applicable to the user requesting it, as seen in Figure 2. For an example, when a user interfaces with an application appropriate to their role in the airspace system, e.g., controller, dispatcher, pilot, or maintenance coordinator. Each user identifies themself to the system through the application or through a centralized system sign-on. That user's ability to access SWIM-based applications and data is then controlled by the role-based limits imposed on that user through SWIM (Meserole & Moore,

Valdrie Buford is currently the System Support Center (SSC) Manager for the Automation Group at the Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center. He previously served as the SSC Manager for Radar, Automation, Navaids, and Communications for the New Orleans geographical area. His previous assignments include positions as a FAA Academy instructor, Airborne Electronics Technician with Flight Inspection, and a technician with the FAA Logistics Center. Valdrie is considered to be a subject matter expert in process improvement and has served in several leadership roles for various Air Traffic Organization initiatives to include Leading Edge 2.0, and the Technical Operation Safety Action Program (T-SAP). He has been recognized by the Secretary of

Miami International Airport (MIA) is one of the largest airports in the US. This case study gives the information on the airport, its history and some background. A report provides the information on the ownership type of the airport and its owner. I tried to enlist specific issues and certain facts about the operations and financial information.

In additional, via constuction a new international airport, this group of people mostly to graduates staffs,they can learn and develop their skills by getting knowledge from bigger projects. They also able to understand well about the projects and gain more experience from their working environment. Moreover, nowdays employees looking for a secure work environment whereby they feel safe with their working condition with better income. With the success of this project, employees won’t think about existing the job due to good working conditions

The next level of decision-making in British Airways is the Operational decision, which uses an information system tool knows as: Transaction Processing Systems (TPS) Process control system

Over the past years, customers have been heavily relying on airline reservation systems to book their tickets, reserve seats, pay for the tickets and also check-in online. For customers, this has been a very convenient method and they are able to easily plan their trips. For the Airline companies, these systems have the whole flight inventory managed. They have all the flight information stored and records are maintained. It also provides a platform for communication between other airline companies for their “code-sharing plans” and
