Objectives
- Implementation of new control and monitoring services for a critical large scale infrastructure
(airport) with new engineering approaches that ensure efficient and robust behaviour of control
mechanisms
- Integration of heterogeneous short range-, satellite based- location technologies
for indoor/outdoor location and wireless communication technologies based on standards
like WLAN, WiMAX, GSM, CDMA as well as sensor networks
- Development of a configurable and scalable LocON Platform integrating embedded location and communication systems
- Increase the reliability of position information through sensor fusion, cooperative localisation data fusion and detection of gaps or poor localisation zones
- Standardisation activities on the European level of a location technology independent layer
- Coexistence issues of wireless systems to avoid degradation of each system in use
- Validate results and benefits in the complex environment of an airport with strong safety and security requirements – Faro airport - by controlling and monitoring vehicles and staff in relevant security areas
Controlling operations in the overall airport area
Most effectively
Avoiding incursions and collisions
