Surface Operations(SURF)

Intelligent Ground Movement Management

SURF is an intelligent, full-process traffic management platform built for modern smart airports. By deeply integrating AI algorithms, big data analytics, and GIS geospatial technology, the system offers real-time situational awareness of all airside ground activity. Leveraging surveillance radar, ADS-B signals, and high-precision vehicle positioning data, it enables intelligent path optimization for both aircraft and ground support vehicles, collaborative multi-agent dispatching, and proactive safety risk prevention—boosting both the efficiency and safety of airport surface operations.

Dynamic Path Optimization for Aircraft Ground Movement

Smart Inbound/Outbound Planning

Based on real-time flight schedules, surface surveillance radar, and GIS-based airport topology, the system dynamically generates optimal taxi paths. It balances time, distance, fuel efficiency, and safety, while intelligently avoiding inaccessible zones such as active construction areas or temporary obstacles—ensuring higher on-time performance.

Precise Tug Route Matching

Considers aircraft type, stand attributes, and ground resource availability to automatically generate conflict-free towing paths, reducing ground holding times.

Delay Recovery & Response

For delayed flights, the system re-plans paths in real time to minimize disruptions, shortening taxi distances and avoiding potential conflicts.

Collaborative Scheduling and Cross-System Resource Integration

Optimized Task Routing for Ground Support Vehicles

Using predictive insights into upcoming aircraft paths, the system plans optimal routes for fuel trucks, shuttle buses, and other support vehicles, avoiding intersection with taxiways and improving turnaround efficiency.

Cross-System Agent Collaboration

Interacts with third-party platforms like stand assignment systems (RM) to resolve conflicts and optimize global scheduling across resources and systems.

High-Precision GIS Awareness and Safety Management

Real-Time Operational Visualization

Through GIS-based maps integrated with radar and vehicle positioning data, the system displays aircraft taxi routes, vehicle positions, and restricted zones in real time—enabling panoramic surveillance and fast decision-making from the tower.

Proactive Safety Alerts

Continuously monitors for risks such as taxi deviation, overspeeding, and close proximity to other objects. Multi-level alerts (audio, visual, mobile notifications) ensure rapid, controlled responses within seconds.

Intelligent Tower Workflow Automation

Agent-Based Automation

Automatically verifies stand occupancy, confirms pushback status, and coordinates temporary stand requirements with RM systems. Manages inspections and maintenance requests, generating standardized digital logs.

Dynamic Emergency Rerouting

In the event of aircraft malfunctions or unexpected construction, the system generates alternate routes within seconds and synchronizes them across relevant systems to maintain operational continuity.
