Efficient Airport Management

INTRODUCTION

The first section of this research study consists of a brief description of the purpose, scope, and background for information technology and systems guidelines. It also lists the professionals and their respective firms who have generously contributed their time and resources to this effort (Fernandes et.al, 2011).

Background

When we think about an airport the first thing that comes to our mind is the airfield, terminals, people movers, roadways, and rail used to flow passengers to baggage, cargo, large and small aircraft, buses, shuttle vans, automobiles, rental cars, trucks, trains, etc. With the advancement that have taken place in the field of technologies all these process can be improved through the implementation of technology enabling the airport and all of its intricate facets to efficiently and safely function minute-by-minute and day-to-day.

Airport managers and operators have become increasingly dependent on IT&S to increase their airport's capacity and security. IT&S has become a critical component of airports, supporting all phases of their lifecycle from development to operations, maintenance, and renewal and replacement (FOO et.al, 2012).

Purpose

The purpose of this studies it to assess the role of technology in limiting the time spent by the travelers at the airport. These guidelines apply to all airports and the key personnel responsible for their proper development, operation, and maintenance. This technical document is intended to serve as best-practice guidelines for the airport industry.

This research study will provide the airport authorities with a proper plan, design, construction, and commissioning of IT&S for airports. These guidelines provide a holistic framework of information technology systems that should be taken into consideration to accommodate the needs of the airport industry and each airport's stakeholders. They emphasize IT&S involvement during the early planning and budgeting phases of airport capital improvement projects (CIP) and describe the appropriate processes used to accomplish successful IT&S implementations alongside an airport's CIP (Avery, 2011).

Whether it is a refurbishment project or a new terminal project, these guidelines can promote better planning, engineering, construction, and commissioning. They consider requirements not only from an initial deployment standpoint, but also in terms of ongoing operational issues.

Sources

The university libraries are comprised of scientific databases that are accessed in order to get the most updated and relevant information. The choice of literature and the measurement of its relevancy is based on the research topic and the publication year. The libraries that are individual and those that are public were used to get the best possible data. This also includes the online databases and libraries. In order to execute the literature review some of the data bases that were used in clued Questia, Emerald, ProQuest, Sage, etc.
