POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF THE AIRPORT INFORMATION SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Abstract

Airport Operational Database is the enabler of airport system integration. The overall information technology strategy within airports comprises multiple specialist application systems, such as Flight Information Display System, Baggage Handling System, Building Management System, Air Traffic Control etc., which are purchased to provide specific application functionality. The Airport Operational Database integrates the information from these specialist systems and provides: - Central storage for a wide range of airport data; - Access to the data from any client user or system; - Distribution of selected data to any airport system. This paper provides details on the Airport Operational Database, the latest solutions available at airport information system integration and the current project at Budapest Ferihegy International Airport.
