Äàòà: 04-02-19 12:59NATS TRIALLING THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO REDUCE DELAYS AT HEATHROWAir traffic management operator, NATS, has begun a trial to understand whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used to help reduce flight delays. A project is now underway, within NATS’ bespoke Digital Tower Laboratory, at Heathrow Airport to test whether a combination of ultra HD 4K cameras along with state-of-the-art AI and machine learning technology can be used to help improve the airport’s landing capacity in times of low visibility and improve punctuality. Heathrow’s 87 metre tall control tower is the highest in the UK and provides commanding views of the airport and surrounding landscape, but its height can also mean it disappears into low cloud, even when the runways below are clear. In those conditions, where the controllers have to rely on radar to know if an arriving aircraft has left the runway, extra time is given between each landing to ensure its safety. NATS believes the system will help the airport reclaim all the lost capacity. Non-operational trials are now underway to understand the feasibility of introducing the technology into service as early as this year. Cheap flight! Book airtickets for low cost prices! --->>>
Andy Taylor, NATS' chief solution officer, said: “Safety is always our top priority and Artificial Intelligence is about supporting air traffic controllers. “Right now we’re focusing on when the control tower is in low cloud, where I’m confident we can make a very positive difference, but I am convinced that this technology can totally revolutionise how air traffic is managed at airports around the world.” Cheap flight!
