 INTRODUCTION

What is Internet of Things (IoT) ?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated
computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals
or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the
ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-
human or human-to-computer interaction.
Traditional fields of embedded systems, wireless sensor
networks, control systems, automation and others all contribute to
enabling the Internet of Things.
IoT has the ability to enhance reliability, quality, customer satisfaction and
fuel efficiency in the aviation industry that is predicted to grow extensively
in the coming years.
These applications can be across fields such as cloud computing,
smart airports, smart baggage, tracking passengers, alerts, and actions. IoT
also has the competency to maximize fleet usage, decrease operational
expenditures, and analyze issues or complications in advance. Due to its
manifold applications, IoT can be leveraged to consolidate the maintenance
mechanism and thereby improve the execution of maintenance exercises.
Therefore, the scope of IoT application is massive in the aviation industry.
HOW DOES IT WORK?

Devices and objects with built in sensors are connected to an Internet of

Things platform, which integrates data from the different devices and applies
analytics to share the most valuable information with applications built to
address specific needs.
These powerful IoT platforms can pinpoint exactly what information is useful
and what can safely be ignored. This information can be used to detect
patterns, make recommendations, and detect possible problems before they
occur.
SENSORS AND ACTUATORS:
A better term for a sensor is a transducer. A transducer is any physical device
that converts one form of energy into another. So, in the case of a sensor, the
transducer converts some physical phenomenon into an electrical impulse that
can then be interpreted to determine a reading.
Another type of transducer that we encounter in many IoT systems is
an actuator. In simple terms, an actuator operates in the reverse direction of a
sensor. It takes an electrical input and turns it into physical action.
In a typical IoT system, a sensor may collect information and route to a
control center where a decision is made and a corresponding command is sent
back to an actuator in response to that sensed input.
There are many different types of sensors in an iot system. Flow sensors,
temperature sensors, voltage sensors, humidity sensors, and the list goes on. In
addition, there are multiple ways to measure the same thing.
ADDRESSABILITY

• The original idea of the Auto-ID Center is based on RFID-tags and distinct
identification through the Electronic Product Code. This has evolved into objects
having an IP address or URI
• Semantic Web focuses instead on making all things (not just those electronic,
smart, or RFID-enabled) addressable by the existing naming protocols
• IoT will have to use the next generation of the Internet protocol (IPv6) to scale
to the extremely large address space required.
SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS

APPLICATIONS
IoT in the Assembly Line
The use of IoT technologies in aeronautics manufacturing provides increased
labour efficiency by providing contextual information to human workers. Increased
connectivity also enables tighter integration of the value chain.

Location tracking
DIRECT COSTS OF AN AIRLINE COMPANY:
IoT in Operations Management

1.Operation of the airspace as an open architecture IoT

system
2.Use of IoT concepts in the management and operation
of individual devices operating in that airspace
OPERATION OF THE AIRSPACE AS AN OPEN
ARCHITECTURE IoT SYSTEM:

Creation of more efficient flight paths.

Reducing wait time on takeoff and landing.
Real-time performance and navigation data.
Streamlining efficiency and reducing operational expenses.
SYSTEM WIDE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT (SWIM)
SWIM aggregates data about all aspects of aircraft operations, including flight
paths, coordination of takeoff and landing, weather information, and
operational data about airspace and airports.

 LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
• AUTONOMOUS UNMANNED AIRCRAFT
• Search and rescue operations
• Remote surveillance (e.g., pipeline monitoring, electrical cable
transmission monitoring)
• Farm surveillance
• Resource scanning (looking for mineral sources)
• Support during environmental or natural disasters
• Hazardous environmental assessment and control
• Urban Mobility
Urban air mobility can contribute positively to a multimodal mobility
system and help build more liveable cities. It leverages the sky to better link
people to cities and regions, giving them more possibilities to connect while
supporting a balanced development of regions. As urban transport heads into
the sky, sustainable city development becomes possible.
• UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management)
If autonomous aviation systems are to reach their full
potential, the rules under which aircraft fly, the way airspace is
configured and the services that manage airspace must also adapt
to incorporate autonomy.
 CONCLUSION
IoT is still in a nascent stage. Further development will result in more
sustainable ideas and infrastructure, which has the potential to make the earth a
better place to live in.
It is making our skies more and more safe besides reducing the
environmental impact of aviation. In the coming days, urban mobility will see a
sea change with the skies opening up.
