46 Hong Kong International Airport, Integrated Airport Centre (IAC) UNLOCKING NEW APPLICATIONS Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) has long been recognised to improve efficiency and resilience at high intensity runway operation airports, and management systems including the Airport Operational Database (AODB) and Airport Operations Plan (AOP) have broadened the concept to include predictive management of airport processes. The Searidge Platform introduces a holistic approach that spans these and multiple future applications by means of open-access architecture capable of supporting any number of microservices. This digital environment provides the interface between users – whether airport operators, ground handlers, air traffic control, airlines, support services, emergency response or security -- and the information they need. Hong Kong International says the digital platform “enhances information exchange and real-time situation awareness between air traffic control officers and airport operational personnel”. This “Smart Airport” concept led to the joint development, by the Airport Authority of Hong Kong (AAHK) in. The Platform provides a facility for aviation stakeholders to share data with each other in a way that adheres to cybersecurity best practices and provides high availability/fault tolerance. | SPECIAL BULLETIN SERIES | 2023 | |
