Preparations are being made to implement AI based system at Delhi Airport to provide better facilities to the passengers. In view of the increasing passenger movement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) based analytics and camera-based solutions will be used to improve operations. Videh Kumar Jaipuriar, Chief Executive Officer of Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the company that operates the country’s largest airport, gave this information in a conversation with PTI.
Jaipuriyar said that we are thinking of adopting more digital solutions for operations. These solutions can be based on Internet-of-Things (IOT) and Artificial Intelligence. We will use predictive analytics to improve airport operations.
Preparation to provide better facilities to passengers
About 1,500 flights operate every day at Delhi Airport. The movement of passengers here is also expected to increase to more than seven crores by the end of the current financial year. Flights operate from three terminals at this airport – T1, T2 and T3. DIAL is trying to improve its operational levels in view of the increasing traffic at the airport. In fact, last year during the winter season, passengers had to face a lot of inconvenience due to increased crowd at the airport.
Preparation to implement Europe’s APOC system
Jaipuriyar said that within 15 days of last year’s incident, the number of passenger entry gates at the airport was increased. Apart from this, the Airport Operation Center (APOC) system used in Europe is also being implemented. With the help of this system, it can be estimated how many passengers can be present at the airport at a particular time. Based on this, necessary preparations can be made in advance. The DIAL chief said, this system will give the management a forecast of the day which can be shared with the concerned stakeholders and necessary people can be deployed. We are in the process of implementing it.
