“The Futuristic Airport”

Introduction (Airport)

Provides mode of transportation for

many (e.g. travelling, business trip,

etc)

Cheaper and faster comparing to

travelling by land or sea

So why airport?

Why Airport?

The busiest places of all time

Why Airport?

The Airport Council International (ACI)

found out that 38% of airports worldwide

registered passenger growth, at an

average of 10.2%.

Taking for example Heathrow Airport

60,000,000* (100%+10%)= 66,000,000

An extra 6 million passenger’s in a year!

Assumption basing on scenario

Cost of implementation isn’t an issue to the industry.

Inter connectivity between countries and airlines companies (e.g. Cross checking of identity and passports)

All the technologies in use are all fully functional, utilize and tested. Therefore, lesser downtime and wont affect airport operations

Analysis

o People involved :

Passenger

Security Personnel (Police, Custom)

Airport Management Team (human relations,

operation, communication, logistics, human

resource, traffic control, maintenance )

Cabin Crew (air steward, pilot, flight engineer)

Analysis

o Task / activities:

Check – in (luggage, boarding pass)

Airport Security Check

Passport Check

Boarding Check

Customer Services (enquiry)

Issues/ problems after implementing technology

1) Face recognition and IRIS recognition

Expensive

What happens if there is power lost?

(provide UPS in every system)

Issues/ problems after implementing technology

2) Digital ID

What if it’s Stolen?

- ID must sync with user’s other

devices (e.g. watch, phone, spectacles

which has an ID that matches the

users)

Conclusion

We tackle all the problems that were present,

by remembering the key rule:

“gracefully integrating these technologies into

the airport so as to become virtually invisible

to the passengers in the airport In order to

anticipate their needs and to provide them

with relevant service or function.”

Thank you!
