Abstract:
A new approach is proposed to the surveillance of identified Security and Safety occurrences concerning mobile objects in an airport environment, in particular to monitor aircrafts, vehicles and staff at the manoeuvring area for all weather conditions. A middleware platform merges localization information from the different mobile objects in the airport and fuses that information through intelligent algorithms in the platform middleware. The system outputs are shown in an advanced Graphical-User interface, providing a collaborative environment with the relevant information to the airport stakeholders. The outputs can be used by the stakeholders to take decisions on the best way to improve Security and Safety and also on the optimization of airport operational procedures in compliance with existing business rules.
