A Guide to IoT Planning and Implementation for Airports

The effective use of an Internet of Things (IoT)—a network of connected devices—installation in an airport setting can provide data and, in turn, improve many aspects of the airport’s business, operations, and passenger experience. Since the publication of ACRP Research Report 191: A Primer to Prepare for the Connected Airport and the Internet of Things, significant advancements have been made in the enabling technologies and the diversity of IoT solutions, including hardware and software products. To leverage these advancements, airports need updated guidance on planning and deploying IoT equipment, developing processes for managing and operationalizing the output, and identifying target areas of improvement. The objective of this project is to develop (1) a guide for U.S. airports that provides strategies for developing or improving an integrated IoT program and (2) a menu of IoT use cases scalable to U.S. airports of all sizes and all levels of information technology (IT) maturity. Each use case should consider and/or affect one or more airport stakeholders or users, including passengers, airport employees, government partners, and tenants.
