IOT Ecosystem as It Applies to the Airports

The effective use of the Internet of Things (IoT)—a network of connected devices—in an airport setting can improve passenger experience and airport operations. Optimal implementation can best be accomplished through the correct selection of machines, processes, and events to monitor; real-time collection of data; and a vendor agnostic IoT analytics platform for processing end-to-end workflows. IoT networks may offer benefits in virtually all aspects of the airport, ranging from landside and airside operations, safety and security, and environmental sustainability. Since the publication of ACRP Research Report 191: A Primer to Prepare for the Connected Airport and the Internet of Things (2018), significant advancements have been made. New research is needed to provide an updated and comprehensive guide for airport operators on considerations prior to starting or even continuing an IoT deployment. The objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive guide covering the current state of the IoT ecosystem, technologies, and supporting infrastructure, the benefits and risks, and a strategy for airport deployment. The guide should provide practical ways to get started on a holistic IoT strategy and roadmap, including how to incorporate existing deployments to maximize the benefits to the airport and its stakeholders.
