ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring
Use cases and requirements
Special considerations Data security, integrity and reliability.
Amount of data Nominal payload.
Transmission interval When required.
Transmission technologies VHF, satellite, WiFi, WGL, GSM. The protocols are typically ACARS, SatCom and IP based.
4.15 Cargo monitoring and tracking
Description Some cargo requires special treatment, such as temperature control, vibration monitoring,
humidity control, etc.
The cargo hold and individual cargo containers are monitored during the flight and the moni-
toring data is streamed of the aircraft.
Scenario The cargo hold and cargo container gets equipped with sensors. The data that is being col-
lected and transmitted during the flight is monitored and analysed on the ground. Alerts can
be automatically generated. Corrective actions can be planned in advance.
User groups • Airlines;
• Cargo owners;
• Cargo forwarders.
Benefit • Flight safety, by closely monitoring the cargo;
• Ensure the quality of the delivery service.
Required data • Aircraft position;
• Cargo sensor data (to be defined).
Data sources • Monitoring devices installed in the cargo hold and containers.
Special considerations None.
Amount of data Depends on the selected sensors.
Transmission interval Depends on the cargo.
Transmission technologies In the cargo hold: radio frequency identification (RFID), near field communication (NFC), WiFi,
Bluetooth, etc.
Off aircraft: VHF, satellite, 3G/4G, WiFi.
