The modern technologies are the mostprominent highlights in the Ministry of Transport’s feasibility study report ofthe Long Thanh International Airport in the first phase, which was recentlysent to Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and the State Appraisal Council forapproval.
The report was conducted by the AirportsCorporation of Vietnam (ACV) with consulting participation of the joint ventureJFV (Japan, France and Vietnam) headed by Japan Airport Consultants and ADPIngenierie, in which the ACV and JFV proposed to apply a series of 4.0technologies to the management and exploitation of the Long Thanh Airport.
Artificial intelligence (AI) will beapplied to passenger and immigration procedures to support identification ofpassengers through biometric data such as face and fingerprints.
Along with national data, AI helps identifypeople on the flight prohibition list, collates and gives timely warnings tosecurity forces. In addition, AI will help operators analyse data on flights,weather and security monitoring and then set up programmes for securitycontrol, risk management, coordination and operation division.
According to Deputy Minister of TransportLe Dinh Tho, all systems will be part of IoT (internet of things), linking withsoftware, sensors and network connections so they are capable of collecting,transmitting and exchanging information and data. IoT helps these technicaldevices identify and control remotely based on wireless technologyinfrastructure platforms and the internet.
"One of the most prominent IoTapplications is the radio frequency identification technology, which is aconnection technology that automatically identifies and tracks identity cardsattached to objects like luggage, equipment and passengers,” Tho said.
The airport is designed with automationtechnology, which is currently used at new and major airports around the worldsuch as Incheon T2 of the Republic of Korea and Changi T4 of Singapore,including Self Check-in Kiosk, Self Baggage Drop, Automatic Gate AccessControl, Automated Immigration, and E-gate.
In order to ensure aviation security, theconsulting unit proposed to use the automatic Body Scanner, which will beequipped inside the passenger terminal, instead of security checks to save timeand improve the comfort of passengers.
The consulting unit said the technical workforce and flight management group for the Long Thanh Airport would be selectedfrom the key force of Tan Son Nhat International Airport. They would attendadvanced training courses at international training centres.
In the first phase, the airport would needabout 5,000-6,000 officials and employees.
The Long Thanh Airport is located in sixcommunes of Long Thanh district in the southern province of Dong Nai. It has atotal investment of 336.63 trillion VND (14.5 billion USD) with constructiondivided into three phases.
In the first phase, a runway and one passengerterminal along with other supporting works would be built to serve 25 millionpassengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo each year. The first phase wasexpected to be completed by 2025.
In the second phase, one more runway andanother passenger terminal would be built to serve 50 million passengers and1.5 million tonnes of cargo a year. After the third phase, the airport would beable to serve 100 million passengers and five million tonnes of cargo a year.-VNS/VNA
