AI will indeed impact aviation in many ways from passenger experience to flight operations. One expects to see improvements in the purview of airport security. As far as flight safety is concerned one has to give up quite a bit of privacy. One would like to see more intelligent ways with regard to personal data that can be used in order to increase security while actually making the security procedures themselves rather less noticeable.
Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Aviation Industry
One does anticipate AI will further the automation of flights as well as flight operations. Advances in machine vision (currently applied in the automotive industry) will also find distinct applications on the aircraft. In highly-structured environments such as airports and the airspace, machine vision can indeed also increase safety as well as efficiency. Taxing as well as ground operations are ripe for disruption through such capabilities.
At a broader level, transportation is indeed a logistics business. Machine learning is rather capable of producing unique insights that do improve efficiency as well as passenger experience. By collecting as well as analyzing near-real-time data about every taxi, bus, train, airplane, etc. as well as each individual passenger, we can also better integrate transport modalities. With the help of such intelligence, one can try to make everyday travel feel closer to a rather personally-oriented experience.
Fleet management is also about logistics. Modern aircraft are already well-instrumented as well as connected. Feeding data into analytics engines in near real-time will indeed allow us to do more optimal predictive maintenance, which will also increase reliability, lower costs, and allow us to build more advanced flying machines.
First, what is Artificial Intelligence?
With its vital role in the technology industry, artificial intelligence (AI) does simulate human intelligence processes making use of machines as well as computer systems in order to acquire information, reach conclusions and also solve problems. AI, with its relevant technologies – Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) – has indeed become highly technical and specialized. Though building machines that do initiate common sense, reasoning and problem-solving is a difficult as well as tedious task, the aviation industry is indeed actively exploring as well as introducing AI technologies in all the sectors.
How does artificial intelligence impact one’s travel?
• On one’s first day of one’s vacation one will be flying somewhere new, one virtual assistant will have just notified one that, according to its calculation, one’s flight will depart at 14:45 and will arrive at 17:14. AI has done everything from the moment one has booked one’s flight, it selected the best time, one preferred seat and customized meals, it even checked one in on one flight.
• One arrives at the airport and one’s AI assistant does suggest one can go to Gate B, as it has been predicted it is the shortest path with the least congestion. In future airports, there will be very little waiting in lines, given that AI will indeed predict the movements of each passenger, will rather optimize the flow and will also allocate resources to meet changing passenger demands. There will no longer a need to arrive at the airport two hours prior.
• At the security checks as well as border control, one will not need to spend one’s time waiting in line. AI does recognize one and has confirmed one’s identity with biometric data thus sharing identification as well as face recognition. Since AI will report that there is no suspicious object detected, one will finish one’s security process within minutes.
• Before one gets onto the airplane, AI will finish the aircraft diagnosis, weather analysis, predictive risk management as well as flight planning. Decisions have indeed been made based on real-time data sharing and the flight is good to depart. The accurate scheduled time is updated in real-time and also shared to directly.
• The airplane does not require to waits on the tarmac for its required turn to take off. All flight phases are indeed much earlier coordinated to be as safe and efficient as possible. AI supports individual flights as well as the entire navigation system, so the traffic flow is dynamically optimized in order to provide the best route toward one’s destination. Potential risks have been identified and also mitigated to avoid unexpected conflict. If a situation arises, it is also flexibly managed through AI to ensure a safe flight.
• One arrives on time. It is exactly 17:14 and baggage claim, customs, immigration, and quarantine are handled quickly and smoothly. AI does capture new data from the journey and the chat-bot from the airline checks in with one to ensure one had a pleasant flight. The AI will make use of response to improve its knowledge for better service.
Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Aviation Industry
It sounds a bit like Sci-Fi, but it is not actually. Although, one cannot be sure about all the ways AI will rather impact one’s everyday lives. What one does not know is that it will continue to evolve. AI will bring the future of air transport economic benefits, efficiencies, flexibility as well as accessibility.
There are so many areas in the industry where AI can indeed provide support: efficient as well as flexible flights; air traffic management and airport operation; aircraft manufacturing and predictive maintenance; drone operations, data-driven analysis and decision making support; airline revenue management as well as passenger support; security and facilitation; training and so on. Some AI technologies have already rather surpassed research and development and are also currently being introduced in existing operations.
Why does the aviation industry need AI? Where are we actually heading? These questions do arise in one’s mind. Artificial intelligence radiology
