  • Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons
    REPORT TO CONGRESS Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons Prepared by U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Office of the Associate Administrator for Airports July 2002 I. Executive Summary Section 520 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) required the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct the study described below and report the results to Congress by April 5, 2001: The Administrator shall conduct a study to determine the number of persons working at airports who are injured or killed as a result of being struck by a moving vehicle while on an airport tarmac, the seriousness of the injuries to such persons, and whether or not reflective safety vests or other actions should be required to enhance the safety of such workers. A review of the FAA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) databases found that between 1985 and August 2000, 11 workers were fatally injured when struck by vehicles on airport aprons. Of the 11 fatalities, only two occurred between 1995 and 2000. Increased emphasis on ramp safety by the airline industry and airports could be a contributing factor to the decline in “struck by” injuries. The lack of comprehensive nonfatal injury data makes it impossible to determine accurately the number and severity of nonfatal struck by injuries. The data suggest that airline industry workers actually sustain significantly fewer struck by injuries than workers in most other industries.

  • Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Technology Manages Traffic & Airports Passengers
    Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Technology manages traffic & airports passengers Today’s traffic with increased demand for mobility, safety and environmental friend- ly travel, requires smart and innovative solutions to optimise and enhance traffic flow. With proven technologies like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi tracking, the cost for col- lecting detailed data for travel time, origin and destination, traffic flow, queuing etc. has decreased significantly compared to traditional technologies like camera detec- tion. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi sensors are easy to deploy and maintenance cost are close to zero. It gives municipalities & road authorities a range of new possibilities to collect reliable traffic data.

  • Aircraft Push-Back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-Based Object Detection and Activity Identification
    Aircraft Push-back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-based Object Detection and Activity Identification Thai Van Phat∗, Sameer Alam∗, Nimrod Lilith∗, Phu N. Tran† and Binh T. Nguyen‡ ∗Saab-NTU Joint Lab, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore †Air Traffic Management Research Institute, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore ‡AISIA Research Lab, University of Science, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Abstract—An accurate prediction of aircraft readiness for departure can help Air Traffic Control (ATC) plan an optimal pre-departure sequence at which aircraft are dispatched from the parking stands. This dynamic mechanism between predicting when all ground handling activities end (Target Off Block Time) and the pre-departure sequencing (Target Start-up Approval time) is the core of Airport Collaborative Decision Making. This turnaround process consists of several activities (fueling, board- ing/deboarding, loading/unloading, etc.) and involves several ground support types of equipment and vehicles. In this research, we propose a visual-analytic approach for detection, tracking such activities to predict the Target Off Block Time (push-back time). This research introduces a Convolutional Neural Networks based video-analytic framework that can monitor the aircraft turnaround processes, including object detection, object tracking, activity detection, and push-back prediction. It recognizes an aircraft type and retrieves turnaround process/activities from its Aircraft Performance Manual and then detects and tracks various activities to estimate their completion time with high accuracy. Live Gate Cam video data was collected from the Gate 3 at Tokachi-Obihiro airport, in Hokkaido, Japan. We used 16 videos with the corresponding lengths varying from 40 to 60 minutes for training and five videos for testing.

IATA’s InBag program mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers, down from 8.99 has set a target to reduce the global baggage mishandling in 2011 and represents a drop of 44.5% in the number of rate to 4.5 mishandled bags per thousand passengers. It is mishandled bags in the last six years. Remarkably, given a figure that is nearly half of where we are today, so there is the nearly three billion passengers using the air transport still much work to do. While it is challenging, SITA is working system last year, it means that for every hundred passengers with its industry partners, including IATA and the ACI, to make traveling fewer than one bag was reported as mishandled. it happen. For the industry it translates into an annual cost saving of US$2.1 billion for 2012. We are now seeing the rewards of a concerted collaborative effort to improve the baggage handling operations of the industry and in so doing reducing a major cause of passenger Francesco Violante dissatisfaction.
