Information Technology in Airport Development

In February 2021, it became known about the introduction of biometric control at Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports. The new technology will allow you to fully automate the passage of pre-flight procedures.

In the publication of February 12, 2021, Vedomosti, citing the Domodedovo press service, will soon be equipped with automated turnstiles (eGate) installed at the airport in the customs control zone, the departure gallery for international flights and all boarding gates in the near future with video cameras for face recognition.

This is done for the convenience of passengers, increasing the profit of airports and speeding up pre-flight procedures. They become completely automatic, without the participation of people and without presenting a passport - from the moment of registration until boarding the plane.

To use the new technology, a citizen of the Russian Federation must submit data to the Unified Biometric System in one of the bank branches, as well as give consent to the use of biometrics for specific purposes. Also, at Domodedovo, the passenger will be able to independently enter his biometric data at the check-in counters and at the CUSS kiosks for baggage registration.

Sheremetyevo is also working to expand biometric control. Now this technology is used only to ensure transport and aviation safety, but after making changes to the federal aviation rules, the airport will be able to provide biometric identification service to passengers.

When exactly such a biometric control system will work at airports is unknown by February 12, 2021. It all depends on how soon the use of technology is agreed by the Ministry of Transport, the newspaper notes.

Experts interviewed by Vedomosti believe that biometric technologies for identity recognition should become an alternative to the use of passports and other carriers at many stages of passage and service at the airport.^[4]

2012: Increase in ICT costs from RUB 950 million to RUB 1.5 billion

In 2012, Domodedovo's IT costs will increase to 1.5 billion rubles, Viktor Ponomarenko, IT director of the airport, who is responsible for the distribution of funds, told CNews. "More is budgeted, but in reality we will spend about this amount," he estimates. For comparison, in 2011 the same indicator amounted to 950 million rubles. Ponomarenko explained that communication is also funded from this budget in addition to IT work itself. But another unit is engaged in frames and scanners for the passage of passengers. In addition, the airport is not related to departmental customs and migration information systems, as well as the deployment of WiFi networks for passengers - they are carried out by partner operators.

Of the 2012 projects for which this funding goes, Chief information officer primarily highlights the construction of a second airport data center, which should be completed by the end of 2012. By July, technological WiFi should appear throughout the airport, except for the runway, allowing employees to access systems from mobile devices. Now such a network works only in the terminal building, on the platform and in the cargo terminal. Literally two months later, Ponomarenko intends to complete work on ground observation of cars and aircraft moving around the field. Dispatchers will receive warnings from her about dangerous rapprochements.

In February 2012, the installation of a perimeter control system is completed, i.e. sensors on the fence (movements, vibrations, no decision has been made on underflows - the airport doubts their applicability in the Moscow climate), infrared cameras. Such a "smart fence" should transmit to operators an image in case of perimeter violation and an assessment of the degree of threat.

Ponomarenko promises to install high-definition television surveillance (Full HD, 1500 cameras) by November 2012, implementing control over the separation of objects (for example, if a person left a bag), determining the license plates of cars in the parking lot and congestion of passengers at border control with automatic generation of an application for opening additional booths.

In addition to the above, biometric control of access to the apron for personnel will appear in October, and security officers will receive portable video cameras by May (project "Cyborg"). In the middle of the year, a situation center should be launched. Finally, there will be software systems for managing resources (RMS), taking into account fuels and lubricants and the production of onboard power, as well as its own electronic trading platform.

The main costs of the airport's IT budget are security-related projects. Recall that a year ago, a terrorist attack occurred at Domodedovo. There are no noticeably predominant integrators or manufacturers at Domodedovo, Ponomarenko assures, without naming specific companies: "We work with almost all the largest." According to CNews, of the notable integrators with Domodedovo, NVision, CROC, Asteros, Jet Infosystems work.
