Visualising IoT Data Insights for the UK’s Largest Airport
Intrepid designs and builds a mission-critical ground traffic control visualization system.
About Our Customer
Heathrow Airport Holdings Limited, formerly BAA is the United Kingdom-based operator of Heathrow Airport. The company also operated Gatwick Airport and London Stansted Airport, plus several other UK airports under its former name.
Their Use Case
Heathrow Airport Holdings needed to build an application to provide situational awareness and decision-making capabilities to the operations teams at Heathrow Airport by replacing the existing static map and radio communications system being used.
Our Solution
We delivered a team of software consultants to architect and build a ground traffic control and visualisation system for use at Heathrow Airport
The frontend dashboard provides a dynamic visualisation of all ground vehicles in and around the airport, including landing and taxiing aircraft. The backend server application collates data from an existing enterprise service bus as well as 5 other data sources from across the airport to represent ground vehicle locations, aircraft locations, aircraft gate state, and active construction works permits.

The Results
Our software team worked closely with the customer’s IT team to build a solid solution that met all of their expectations and desired outcomes. The solution was also built and deployed on time and on budget.
Upon completion, we managed a full handover of the solution to an offshore team for ongoing software maintenance and updates.
