Innovative airport solutions: using AI, machine learning, and robotics for optimised ground handling and passenger experience
Priya Jindal et al.
What the paper says
This paper explores how artificial intelligence and robotics can transform airport processes by optimising functions such as baggage handling and check-in using AI models and robotics. Nine machine-learning algorithms were applied. Key findings include a 25% reduction in flight delays using linear regression, a 15% decrease in lost revenue from no-shows with logistic regression, and a 20% reduction in baggage mishandling through decision trees. K-means clustering insights resulted in a 10% increase in ancillary revenue via targeted marketing. Principal component analysis (PCA) accounted for 85% of operational data variance, improving decision-making and reducing predictive maintenance costs by 18% with 92% accuracy and an F1 score of 0.91. Gradient-boosting reduced passenger check-in wait times by 30%. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) improved security efficiency by 15% with 94% accuracy. Recurrent neural networks enhanced passenger flow forecasting, reducing congestion with a MAPE of 4.2% and an R-squared of 0.79. Overall, AI and robotics show potential.
