– Incheon International Airport Smart Integrated Control Platform Phase 1 Project Start –
□ The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (Minister Hee-Ryong Won) and Incheon International Airport Corporation (President Kyung-Wook Kim) actively introduced a smart integrated control platform to dramatically improve aircraft safety at Incheon International Airport and to handle future air demand in a timely manner. said to do
ㅇ The smart integrated control platform is a futuristic control system that integrates multiple systems used in the control tower with a minimum of equipment and applies advanced technology, and is being operated* overseas.
* London City Airport in the UK has been operating since '19, and in Sweden, since 15, four small airports, including the eastern port city of Sundsvall, have been operated by remote control from the central control center.
ㅇ In particular, as aircraft operations increase and aircraft ground movement becomes more complex, the aircraft may deviate from the controller's view, and take preemptive measures in situations in which the aircraft collides with a ground moving object during low visibility* due to night or fog, etc. It is a platform that can respond to
* As visibility is likely to be shortened due to bad weather such as fog, which may impede take-off and landing
□ The smart integrated control platform (iCWP-integrated Controller Working Position) construction project will be carried out in phases 1 and 2.
ㅇ In the first phase project*, various data that appeared on multiple screens, such as video information coming through closed circuit (CCTV), weather and ground observation information, radar information, and departure/arrival flight information at the apron of Passenger Terminal 1, were displayed on one screen. It can be seen at once, increasing the controller's situational awareness,
* (Project entity) Incheon International Airport Corporation, (Project period) '22.5 ~ '24.9, (Project cost) KRW 112 billion
ㅇ In addition, a more stable control environment will be created by September 24.9 by visualizing the movement of aircraft located in every corner that was difficult to detect with existing facilities and providing information on the location, distance, movement, etc.
* (Current) Prediction of front and rear collision risk between aircraft based on ground radar, etc. → Prediction of front, rear, and side collision risk between aircraft and between aircraft and ground handling vehicle based on image (object recognition)
□ Following the first stage, in the second stage ('1~), the scope of application is expanded to the apron of the first passenger terminal. Based on AI, the accuracy of voice messages frequently exchanged between the controller and pilots can be checked in real time, and a function that uses big data to generate the optimal flight route for aircraft in the airport is also planned to be introduced.
□ With this smart integrated control platform construction project as an opportunity, Incheon Airport is expected to further enhance airport safety by preventing aircraft ground accidents and improving the control environment.
ㅇ In addition, it is expected that by securing related technologies for remote control and unmanned control, it will be possible to accumulate technologies for future airport construction and to gain an edge in the increasingly fierce competition in the airport industry.
□ Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport Airport Policy Officer Joo Jong-wan said, “We will do our best for airport safety so that passengers can use aircraft more safely by dramatically improving the Incheon Airport control service environment.”

Smart Integrated Control Platform Phase 1 Business Description
□Business overview
ㅇ Project name (subject): Smart apron control platform construction project (Incheon International Airport Corporation)
ㅇ Business period/amount: '22.5 ~ '24.9 (28 months) / 112 billion won
ㅇMain task: Establishment of a future control system that applies 4th industrial revolution technologies such as AR and AI
ㅇ Business scale: 1 platform, 70 servers, 96 CCTVs (for real image/thermal image/tracking)
ㅇ Business details
① (Integrated display) Panoramic view (image combination), around view (AR), and apron view (image) are integrated with ground radar, flight information, weather information, ground movement information, etc.
② (Visibility Overcoming) Visualization of airside operation status even when shielding and low visibility (AR application)
③ (Instruction confirmation) AI confirms whether the controller's instruction and the pilot's response match (voice recognition is applied)
④ (Collision warning) 11 aircraft-vehicle intersection collision warning (image recognition, AI application)
⑤ (Route deviation) Aircraft ground movement route departure warning (video/voice recognition, AI application)
□ Overseas trends
ㅇ In Europe and the United States, the government-led smart control (iCWP*) service is operated by applying solutions such as the 4th industrial revolution new technology and integrated control platform.
* iCWP (integrated controller working position): smart integrated control platform
