After August 2022, passengers arriving at TTIA were pleasantly surprised by a white sedan labeled "Autonomous Vehicle" navigating the airport premises. The vehicle, operating autonomously on the high-speed terminal roadways, covers a distance of 4.2 km between Terminal 1, Terminal 2, the cargo area, and administrative offices, looking just like any other car. As part of its digital transformation, TTIA and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) have worked together on the Airport Self-Driving Shuttle Test Project. The vehicle was tested to safely self-drive at a maximum speed of 50 km/h amidst highspeed traffic through various smart devices. Looking forward, TTIA has set sights on becoming Asia's first and the world's second airport to provide a self-driving shuttle service after Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in the United States. "The results will serve as a reference for future implementation of autonomous shuttle services as one step toward developing a smart airport," said Yang Wei-fuu, Chairman of Taoyuan International Airport Corp. (TIAC), during the result release day in May. Intelligent Services at TTIA TTIA is embracing digitalization with upgrades to the e-Gate Enrollment System and the implementation of WiFi 6 and 5G infrastructure. Additionally, to streamline the check-in and boarding process, the airport has introduced smart services and facilities such as mobile, online, and international-town check-in and self-baggage drop kiosks, along with a pilot program for the One ID biometric system. Meanwhile, TIAC sets a different theme each year, partnering with ITRI and other companies to carry out various pilot projects of POC(Proof of concept) such as delivery and cleaning service robots, an airport location-based app, and a footfall and environmental monitoring system. These initiatives will serve as a roadmap for future smart airport endeavors. Envisioning Tomorrow's Smart Airport What will the smart airport of the future look like? Green buildings have already become standard, and applying automation solutions to elevate the comfort and operational efficiency of post-pandemic travel services is emerging as a prominent trend of smart innovation for major international airports. In response to the rising demand for smart airports, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TTIA) has conducted various tests on smartification to guide facility planning, including a recently completed self-driving shuttle test. ▲ 全新的「e-Gate自動查驗通關系統」加快證照查驗速度。 New e-Gate System accelerates the process of immigration clearance. 國際脈動International Currents
