Zurich Airport at a Glance

• Opened in 1948• Location: ~ 10km from City Center• Traffic 2010: 23Mio Pax (+4.3%) / 263’000

ATMs / 178 Destinations / ~ 35% Transfer Pax/ 350’000 to (belly) cargo

• Airside Infrastructure: 3 Runways / 3 piers / ~ 100 ACFT stands

• Landside traffic: 17’000 parking spaces / 6th largest railway station in Switzerland / One of the busiest bus stations in Switzerland

• 3rd largest shopping center in Switzerland (120’000 sqm office space, 143 shops, 52 F&B outlets)

• Substantial political issues regarding noise

Zurich Airport: current projects

• Re-building of pier B• Centralized security control• The circle at ZRH• ACFT stands expansion• Ground runup enclosure

(engine test facility)

GIS development: initial project goals (2004)

• To provide analytical and visual support for Ops Engineering, Noise, Legal, Environment, Planning, Economics & Politics Divisions with geographic Information

• „Insourcing“ of GIS work

Application focus was on "Science & Engineering" (vs. Focus on commercial / operational needs in other spatial info systems)

Airfield maintenance had their own (external) NIS for utilities, other airfield infrastructure had not been covered adequately by any GIS

GIS use cases: Noise analysis

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx6

To find out, howmany inhabitantsare subject to noiseabove the thresholdof environmental legislation, thepopulation data isqueried spatially (ifinside the relevant isophones) and byattributes (if in aplicable sensitivityzone), thensummarized.

GIS use cases: 3D Obstacle Surfaces

GIS Development: from expert system to Enterprise GIS

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx8

Project goals and sub-projects (2009)

Goals:• Put GIS/NIS on a common platform to increase efficiency of data usage• Support airport maintenance and operation with GIS • Enable future applications (e.g. mobile GIS)

Sub-projects• Migration of NIS data• WebGIS development• Interface to SAP PM

WebGIS: system requirements

Technical requirements:• Browser-based, no Plugins etc. needed• Bi-directional interfaces to external applications (SAP and others) possible• Mobile access through WLAN / GSM possible• about 100 users (10 simultanous)• Strong integration with desktop GIS and GIS database (data, symbolisation)

Functional requirements:• Navigation (pan, zoom, search, query)• Toggle layers• Customizable views• Customizable forms• Customizable printing and reporting• Editing (simple features only)(the usual stuff..)

System design choice

Questions:• Do we have the resources to

master the complextechnology?

• Cost-effectiveness?In-house deployment oroutsourcing of WebGIS?

Answers:• Security concerns about

outsourcing• In-house deployment is more

efficient on the long run

Software choice

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx12

Questions:• What do we need on top of SDE to

develop WebGIS applications?• Alternatives to expensive AGS

licenses? (OSS?)Answers:• For our intended WebGIS

applications, OSS is not a viablealternative because of:

• Poor integration with existing (ESRI) GIS software

• No implementations of complexsymbology in utility drawings available

• WebOffice by Synergis is a suitableWebGIS application framework

WebGIS features: cached base image, live overlays

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx13

client-side tranparency setting: 30% 50% transparency

WebGIS features: markings and signs

WebGIS features: complex symbology

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx15

WebGIS features: attribute queries & - forms

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx16

WebGIS features: sketching & printing

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx17

WebGIS authoring tool (WebAuthor)

• Configuring, not coding!• Various wizards• Fully integrated with ArcMap• Consistency checks• configurations are saved as

XML filesreadable and portable

WebGIS User Management

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx19

WebGIS experiences

Strengths:• Stability and performance• 100% compatibilty of all symbology beween ArcMap, AGS and WebGIS

clients• Intuitive, easy-to learn user interface• WebGIS shows live data, not time-lagged publication data• Powerful authoring tool• Software is well documented

Weaknesses:• Multitude of software components makes maintenance and troubleshooting

difficult• No support for 3D data

WebGIS usage: map requests / day

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx21

GIS - SAP PM interface use cases

• Find SAP functional locations in WebGIS map

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx22

• Show existing tickets on functional loc.• Create new tickets on functional loc.

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx23

• Create / modify tickets on free locations

16.03.2011 Paris_110318_ZRH.pptx24

Conclusions & outlook

• Integration of utility NIS and introduction of WebGIS have boosted the usageof GIS

• Enterprise GIS is different from expert GIS…• A Standard WebGIS implementation works well for standard use cases of any

infrastructure operator• Many spatial information requirements of airports are indeed very similar to

those of other infrastructure operators• However, aviation specific needs are not (yet) well supported (e.g. airport

features, 3D objects, …)

Outlook: Potentials for future development• „Airports Module“ for ArcGIS?
