India plans `intelligent` airport terminals


Quotes:

As the roadmap for modernisation of Kolkata and Chennai airports nears completion, top civil Aviation Ministry officials on Wednesday said new terminals coming up at major airports across the country would be "intelligent" and IT-enabled.


major Indian airports in future would have "intelligent terminals" fitted with sensors to operate various facilities -- from lighting and air-conditioning to an IT-enabled building management system.

High-tech equipment would be deployed for the security and air traffic control (ATC) systems covering a wide range of activities -- from access control to perimeter security.

The communication, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management (CNS-ATM) system would be modernised and linked to the satellite-based system called Gagan, in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation.

".. a VSAT network to cover eight major airports" to begin with, ... even the baggage X-Ray and screening mechanisms would be upgraded considerably."

Does the term "intelligent" apply to the people who will staff the airport?

Well the congestion of people is mostly at night when the BA / LH flights are scheduled ...


to reduce a/c congestion it wud be a good thing to have a separate LCC airport say at Navi mumbai with just the basic facilities

This is just laughable. The funny thing is that if you go to railway stations, including bom local, you can clearly hear the announcements, but at the airports it is more sounding like the old railway stations now.

Since they are trying to make the terminals more intelligent, maybe they are just trying to display the same instead of using the speaker facilities Laughing
