AODB

Therefore, a central database is needed to integrate different systems in airports and enable airport operators to detect and share the problem issues causing delays in real-time so that they can be quickly considered and fixed, to guarantee a stress-free passenger journey, etc. The Airport Operational Database system (AODBS) fulfills these tasks and saves millions of dollars. It also manages and integrates all key data without having to assess multiple systems. AODBS does all this by tracking, scheduling and administering the necessary resources for operating an airport.

This data is distributed to all systems and sub-systems that need access to the information, for example, airport personnel in various departments, airlines, passengers, etc. The philosophy of such a system is ‘record once and use many.’ AODBS is a trusted system to deliver accurate, constant and prompt information. This is fundamentally important in a complex operational system, where parties have to work in coordination to ensure operations efficiency. Furthermore, there are different sectors and companies, cooperating in an airport, for example, an airport operator may provide baggage handling services to airlines operating at the airport, but a ground handler who works independently may provide passenger processing services, in that case, AODBS ensures that data owners contribute to the system, entering data promptly and accurately and the system responds to the changes as appropriately as possible when they occur. This question may occur that how AODBS is translated into a service. For this purpose, airports move their IT to flexible and user-friendly Cloud systems for common use so that users can access the system easily, anywhere and at any time as required. Hence AODB cloud system simplifies the IT system and makes it less complicated to integrate into divided systems and data providers. However, for external business partners, an information adaptor can be subscribed which enables them to exchange information into and from AODBS.

• Managing flight data for FIDS, baggage reconcilement data for BIDS, gate assignment data for GIDS
• Maintains historical data and feeds them into other databases like ground transportation networks, financial systems, flight schedules
• Collect schedule information to organize check-in desks with available gates, equipment and personnel
• Integrates all key data without the necessity of accessing multiple systems to do so
• Deliver accurate, constant and prompt information

• Airport operation efficiently
• Coordination of complex operational systems
• Simplification of the IT system to integrate divided systems and data providers
