DIMI Innovation Airport aims to:
1) Nurture an airport research profile, consisting of ambitious, innovative and inter-
disciplinary/inter-faculty expertise & research projects
2) Facilitate a cooperation and networking platform, with a wide pool of
stakeholders and (international) industry partners, Government, etc.
3) Establish living Lab(s) to exchange knowledge, and develop, test & demonstrate
new technologies, products and services – with valuable partners such as RTHA &
Schiphol!

Collaboration TU Delft & RHIA1
• Oct ’16: Statement of Interest TUD - RTHAThis lead to initiating & linking multiple initiatives, such as:
– Airport Technology Lab
– Agent-based modelling of terminal operations
– Emergency Relief Airports
– EcoWall
– Thinktank Sustainable Aviation
• Nov ’19: Letter of Intent TUD-RHIAGoal: to set-up a structural, long-term collaboration. Activities include:
– Participation of TU Delft in “bestuurlijk overleg”
– Exchange of knowledge, experience and network
– Continuation of current projects and initiating new innovative
projects that contribute to sustainable aviation and airports
– Locating the Citation PH-Lab at RTHA

Airport Technology Lab at RTHAThe Airport Technology Lab (ATL) is a fieldlab at RTHA focusing on development of
innovations for airport technology and processes, and involving multiple businesses &
knowledge institutes. In 2019 we have succesfully submitted an EFRO subsidy proposal.
Main activities 2019-2022
1. Development of fieldlab infrastructure to create a unique test & demonstration
environment
2. Execution of various innovation projects within 4 physical areas (airside, baggage,
terminal & landside) + IT-environment leading to improvements in safety, capacity,
efficiency, resilience, passenger comfort, etc. on an airport system level
3. Set-up of a knowledge development & exchange program

Work packages of EFRO proposal
WP1 – Fieldlab infrastructure
• Weather now-casting model
WP2 – Pilot Project
• Turbulence prediction at take-off
Expected result
Extension of the applicability of the Radar System. An accurate
weather now-casting model will be developed, which gives ATC
more insight into current weather conditions. By using this now-
casting model it is possible to predict the turbulence between
aircraft under varying weather conditions. This will ultimately lead
to safer and more efficient take-off and landing procedures.
New staff?
A postdoc and PhD position are (partly) funded

WP1 – Fieldlab infrastructure
• Airport Data Analytics
WP2 – Pilot Project
• Flight-to-Gate planning
Expected result
A tool capable of predicting airside disruptions by
using machine learning techniques. This
information will aid airport planners in tactical
and operational decision making, and leads to
more efficient procedures. Within the pilot project
the flight-to-gate planning module is tested.
New Staff?
A postdoc position is funded

WP1 – Fieldlab infrastructure
• Terminal simulation & monitoring platform
WP2 – Pilot Projects
• Call-to-gate strategy
• Remote check-in of baggage
Expected result
A simulation tool capable of simulating the efficiency, security and
resilience of airport terminal processes. By using this tool it is amongst
others possible to develop a ‘call-to-gate strategy’ application (optimize
passenger flows while maximizing revenue), and to assess the impact of
remote baggage drop-off points on the passenger flow (efficiency,
capacity) through the terminal.
