Last week, GMR Airports launched an AI-powered digital twin platform at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad. The platform supports a new Airport Predictive Operation Centre (APOC) which will integrate Rajiv Gandhi International Airport’s  airside, landside, and terminal operations to promote efficiency and synergy at the airport.

Discussing the new technology, Mr. SGK Kishore, ED – South & Chief Innovation Officer, GMR Airports said:

“GMR Group is leading the aviation industry with cutting-edge technological innovations, focusing on significantly enhancing passenger experiences. Our new AI-enabled digital platform and the Airport Predictive Operation Centre (APOC) set new standards in modernising operations and elevating passenger satisfaction. By integrating real-time data and advanced analytics, we ensure smooth passenger flow, reduced wait times, and personalised services, shaping the future of air travel with unparalleled efficiency and safety.”

The press release listed the following key features:

 

Key Features Enhancing Passenger Experience:

Intelligent Crowd Management: The platform employs real-time analytics to optimize passenger flow and security, reducing congestion and enhancing safety.

Flow and Queue Analytics: These tools improve terminal operations by boosting throughput, reducing wait times, and minimizing missed flights.

Passenger Experience Analytics: High-visibility areas are optimized to support special needs, ensuring a more inclusive and comfortable journey.

Real-Time Insights: Enhanced throughput, gate usage, and dwell times are achieved through continuous monitoring, improving overall efficiency.

Behaviour Analytics: Strengthening security and passenger flow, these analytics ensure a smooth and secure travel experience.

 

Advanced Operational Features:

Virtual Simulations: The digital twin can run virtual simulations for various operational scenarios, enhancing airside efficiency and supporting proactive decision-making.

Smart Traffic Monitoring: For landside operations, this feature reduces traffic congestion and improves passenger handling through early detection of issues.

IoT Analytics: Real-time monitoring and improved traffic planning streamline parking operations and enhance road safety.

The digital twin platform will be distributed across all GMR-operated airports and will ultimately become the standard operating model across the airports.

 

At Aviation Festival Asia in February, airport leaders from across the Asia-Pacific region will join key technology providers and industry stakeholders to discuss the future of airport innovation in the region. Book your ticket now to be a part of the conversation!
