Intelligent and Fuzzy Techniques in Aviation 4.0

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 372))

Abstract

This chapter introduces and analyses the state of the art of aircraft ground handling automation at airports. With the perspective of full automation of the air transport industry (Aviation 4.0), a management structure compatible with on-line automation of ground handling vehicles is proposed. This leads to identifying different decision problems to be tackled to generate safe and efficient automated ground handling operations. Solution algorithms are proposed where inherent uncertainty is modelled using fuzzy dual numbers demonstrating the feasibility of higher automation of ground handling through Aviation 4.0.
