Application Logic
Description
Personal data privacy and protection is to be considered when collecting, analysing, and viewing data.
Assume that real-time is the norm which means that direct intervention is possible.
Collect images from different angles since they will have different purposes.
Use all available data collected for other pain points.
Security issues need to be considered as information would be of interest to many parties.
Description
All models are to be developed by joint effort of SME and data scientists.
Development of these models will be iterative (will require time) to achieve an appropriate quality level.
There will be multiple MV models since ground operations will be tracked against different criteria.
Both MV and ML models developed will be operating to monitor the state of the airport, e.g. people flow, system flow, equipment statuses.
Description
Digital Twin to be deployed with interactive 3D visualisation of existing systems.
MV and ML models used within the Digital Twin will allow monitoring of situations and fast decisions with full visibility of airport operations.
All data mastered in Enterprise data store and then provided, as needed to AI applications
Expected benefits
5G (optimised over 4G) will enable real-time perspective which is crucial
Digital Twin and 3D models provide increased visibility for decision making
Key value created
Faster response and decision-making in emergencies
