GIS at the Airport

Peggy Smedley and Adan Banda, senior geospatial data manager, and Brandon Mann, geospatial analyst, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, talk about GIS (geographic information systems) and how the technology is applied to complex infrastructures. Adan says DFW airport is a very large airport—larger than the island of Manhattan—which requires a single source of truth. Brandon says people are flying more—a 5% increase year over year on commercial flights—and we are all getting busier, which means the integrated and coordinated systems need to be in place.

They also discuss:

• How and what the digital twin monitors at DFW Airport.
• How AI (artificial intelligence) plays a role here.
• What’s next for GIS in airports.
