Implementing innovative app toolkit for airport workers that improve aircraft turnaround. Airport IQ will develop a mobile information sharing system connecting back-end A-CDM systems with mobile devices (smartphones, tablets and other wearable devices) carried by ground staff. The system will provide the right information at the right place and time to the right people, making it easier for planners to make optimal use of resources. We are looking for potential partners to participate in the project whether they are Airports, Ground Handlers, Airlines, System providers and other commercial entities.

4. Smart, green and integrated transport
H2020 Programme: Part III – 4
“to achieve a European transport system that is resource-efficient, climate- and
environmentally-friendly, safe and seamless for the benefit of all citizens, the
economy and society”.
a) Resource efficient transport that respects the environment.
b) Better mobility, less congestion, more safety and security.
c) Global leadership for the European transport industry.
d) Socio-economic and behavioural research and forward looking activities for policy
making.

9. Ways to improve aircraft turnaround
1. Transform how turnaround
services are done
– lower cost services
– Invest in new equipment
– Simplified catering
– New approach to cleaning –
e.g. air crew clean the plane
2. Remove services altogether
– Catering, cleaning, ..
3. Improve the quality of the
information used in turnaround
– All can benefit from improved
data
Precise Data = Better Decisions!

10. Why improve the quality of information?
11/19/2015
Airport IQ Goal  Improve accuracy
• Many participants, lots of data,
• How to collect?
• How to ensure secure, safe, informed and accurate decisions.
Result : Wrong
decisions, poor
decisions, and
buffers, buffers
everywhere.

13. A-CDM Common Objectives
Currently have the greatest
challenges in enabling the flow
of information.
Airport IQ addresses this gap

14. TITAN Project
(Turnaround Integration in Trajectory and Network )
• Analysis of turnaround process
• The key stakeholders
– Airport Operators (AOP),
– Aircraft Operators (Airlines),
– Airport Ground Handling (GH),
– Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP), and
– Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU).
• Scope
– The sequence of ground operations from
• AIBT (Actual In-Block Time)
• until AOBT (Actual Off-Block Time)
• included external services.
Services included:
– Passenger Flow Information Service
(PFIS)
– Baggage Flow Information Service
(BFIS)
– Aircraft Status Report Service (ASRS)
– Cargo/Mail Flow Information Service
(CMFIS)
– Airport Information Report Service
(AIRS)
