Bengaluru : Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB/BLR Airport) announces the installation of an innovative Aerial View Display (AVD) System that is set to enhance the overall efficiency of airport operations and emergency responses on the airside. This system offers real-time, consolidated monitoring of all airside operations from the Airport Operations Control Centre (AOCC), from flight movements to the coordination of emergency and ground vehicles, all on a single, centralised dashboard.
The AVD System is designed to significantly enhance operational efficiency and safety by providing airport operators and stakeholders with a unified view of critical airside activities, including flight landings, take-offs, taxiing, and vehicle movements. By identifying flights through their flight numbers rather than traditional ATC call signs, the system simplifies tracking and management, empowering BLR Airport to streamline operations and make more collaborative and informed, real-time decisions with unparalleled situational awareness.
Features of the AVD System include:
• Real-Time Unified Dashboard: A single platform providing real-time visibility into airside operations, including flight landings, take-offs, taxiing, and vehicle movements
• Advanced Flight Tracking: Accurate monitoring of taxiing, aircraft speed, and runway occupancy time (ROT) to boost airside efficiency
• Ground Vehicle Monitoring: Real-time tracking of ground vehicles for seamless coordination and enhanced safety
• Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM): Tracks CDM milestones to improve stakeholder collaboration and optimize operational planning
• Emergency Alerts: Enabling better coordination during emergencies ensuring swift responses to minimize risks and disruptions
• Optimised Taxi Times: In-depth analysis to reduce delays and ensure smooth operational flow which results in better On-time Performance (OTP) and energy savings.
Commenting on this milestone, Satyaki Raghunath, Chief Operating Officer of Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said, “BLR Airport has been at the forefront of adopting technology to ensure the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and operational excellence. The Aerial View Display (AVD) System will enables real-time, automated monitoring and seamless coordination across the entire airside. This innovation will not only streamline operations but also empower stakeholders of BLR Airport to make faster, data-driven decisions that will improve capacity and efficiency across our airside operations, which in turn will lead to a reduction in emissions and enhanced sustainability standards.”
The Aerial View Display (AVD) System reinforces BLR Airport’s commitment to innovation, operational excellence and sustainability. By harnessing real-time data and offering a unified view of airside operations, the system creates a smarter, more efficient airport ecosystem, enhancing stakeholder collaboration and delivering seamless travel experiences for passengers.
As a key aviation hub, BLR Airport aims to set new benchmarks in operational efficiency by adopting the latest innovation and technology. The AVD system underscores the Airport’s dedication to leveraging advanced solutions to drive sustainable growth, ensure safety, and maintain its leadership in modern airport management.
