2 Current scenario Security regulation at airports is influenced by internal and external sources. Over the past years investment in technology has increased consistently and companies are spending millions of dollars to encompass new procedures able to predict behavior that could affect flight security. Many efforts have been made in order to comply with international regulations, imposing every airport around the globe to control all aspects of security access, including increased surveillance by video, sensors, actuators, and so on. The affluence of people crossing borders has increased dramatically. As a consequence, the transit of baggage around the globe has accompanied this figure. Passengers often trust in baggage checking procedures, assuming that no one would damage or violate one s luggage, taking away some goods or inserting any items such as drugs, explosive, or black-gadget. Simultaneously, e-commerce has been used for instant buying, but with no predictions of a proper day for the delivery of goods. E-commerce companies have to be fast-paced and control their shipments with the aid of computer systems precise as ever. However, the opposite is true. Companies pay a lot of money in insurance to protect their cargo and to track customer goods. On the other end, there s no integration between those systems. It has been verified that people are working at the same time at the same site, but with no connections and no integration. They don t share data. They don t know each other. How could they be living and sharing information in the future? To answer this question, we need to envision a thorough interaction between passengers, baggage, aircrafts and the airport site. They are part of the same game, part of the same body. If we process all data collected in one day, inquiring about standards or pattern behaviour we would be surprised to see how this analysis could help us understand connections and relationships between events. Artificial intelligence algorithms are developed to process information better and faster than humans. Prediction is the new trend. To be preventive is a crucial behaviour in the new era. 1

3 Solution Based in its 15 years experience in developing tracking solutions, GTP has conceived a sensor-based system to airport ramps in order to improve H2M (human to machine) and M2M (machine to machine) interactions. The software has been designed in partnership with the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Department (Infraero). The hardware and integration were developed with radio frequency systems to exchange information between the central server access control database, and the existing system. Such system addresses Ramp Access Control implementing functions such as: Vehicle access control at the ramp Driver access control and license to operate at the ramp Vehicle tracking at the ramp Vehicle speed control at the ramp Geo fences to control in and out access by vehicle Authority vehicle tracking Internal operation control at the ramp Dashboard in real time with performance indicators Map of the site with non-normal event 2

4 Functionalities developed for the first version of the system Access Control is achieved by functions such as Database checking for crew members and staff: access permissions to secured areas are stored in the RFID badge. All secured areas are also stored into the badge. Other permissions and paperwork are stored in the badge. RFID 915 MHz embedded at the badges: each badge has a RFID 915 MHz embedded with antenna covering all badge area in order to capture information from the user using long range fixed antenna. Badges printing with hologram: the badge uses 3D hologram in order to achieve security requirements. Also the process of printing uses the same technology as of the printer. No printer requirements are needed. RFID commissioning: after printing the badge will be conducted to the commissioning workstation in order to record the user identification on RFID component. 3

5 Dashboard Applications Crew Member and Staff Access Control RFID sensors to control access of crew members and staff: each badge of the crew members and staff at the airport are controlled by RFID reader network and antennas in the coverage area in order to control every checkpoint. All people are detected by long range RFID antennas such as 1,0 m to 1,5 m. At that time the identification is displayed at the monitor in front of the gate. RFID sensor to control vehicle access to the ramp: such as people the vehicle that needs to access the airport ramp has to be identified by RFID sensors. The coverage area of the RFID readers is installed along the way of the ramp. Each gate has readers and antennas integrated to the CCTV system. Every time the vehicle is identified by the RFID system the plate and license are displayed at the monitor and stored at the database. RFID gates at ramp and terminal to provide long range reading of RFID sensors at cars and crew. Video surveillance integration. RFID readers coverage area at terminal for long range capture all RFID sensors. Cargo Management This is one of the most important application of the hunter Visibility Manager. With this application airline companies can handle cargo securely and safety. The functions available to the end user embeds some sensors for cargo protection and tracking at the ramp, during the flight or in the warehouse. 1_cargo tracking: pallets or packs gets intelligent label with RFID sensor inside. From the start the label is tracked wherever it is. RFID antennas will detect movements and send reports that to the system. 4

6 2_cargo monitoring : pallets and packs are monitored based on its location. Sensors exchanges information with fixed readers at the coverage area and also transmits the data about temperature, area, location zone, etc. 3-_tamper switch : every time the cargo is opened the sensors send information of its storage including location, zone ID, and other given data that can be monitored when pack or pallet is opened. All data captured from cargo operation is stored at Hunter IoT database. Airport Ramp Management This application helps staff on certain needs for that particular area called airport ramp. Some areas are private to a certain number of people and/or cars. That areas are restricted depending on location, time of the day, type of authorization and many other criteria defined by the airport authority. A lot of restrictions are designed based on type of operation. This includes speed limit control. Zone In or Out vehicle permission, etc. The dashboard shows a complete map of the ramp and popup alerts shows events reported by zone cross edge to go out or to come in, speed limit exceeded, vehicle stop and go, vehicle breaks, and much more information captured from sensors in the vehicle. Baggage tracking One of the most important application of this system is the baggage tracking. This helps end users to know where is the baggage dispatched for his destination airport. Even they do the right thing the sensor inside the baggage sends information every second with the location of it. This information can match or not with the destination. If so that s OK. If not, it sends an alarm to the central site. The technology to control all of those devices was developed using hardware and software requirements. The first required function is to know, in real time, the asset location with 99% of accuracy. This means about one meter in 1,500 meters, in other words, 0,00067% of allowed error. The second required function is to identify and track crew members without manual intervention (only if they have no identification badge ). 5
