ITU-T Focus Group on Aviation Applications of Cloud Computing for Flight Data Monitoring
Use cases and requirements

Data sources • ADS-B (traditional and via satellite) or Mode-S transceiver;
• ADS-C;
• FMC messages;
• Controller-pilot data link communication (CPDLC)/automatic dependent surveillance (ADS);
• ARINC 623 messaging (D-ATIS, OCL, DCL);
• Airline operational communication (AOC) position reports;
• Dedicated positioning system;
• Flight data streaming/FOQA streaming.
(Additional source, but not from A/C data: primary radar).
Special considerations Access control to the data because it can reveal sensitive operational and economical details
of the airlines.
Security mechanisms to avoid and detect misuse of the system or false data injection.

Amount of data Depends on interval and dataset. Flight tracking data is usually very small and can be sent
through short burst data (SBD) messages.

Transmission interval Performance criteria.
Transmission technologies Technologies are available as of today. Current technologies have sufficient capabilities for
tracking, sending alerts, and a few parameters.

4.24 Passenger and crew health monitoring

Description The global system to prevent or mitigate the expansion of infectious diseases by means of
real-time health status monitoring of those who move globally, and detecting symptoms of
infectious diseases for the purpose of taking appropriate action as instructed by healthcare
authorities as early as possible.
This system can also be used for fatigue risk management (FRM) of crews by studying crew
health parameters to optimize the duty times and to increase flight safety.

Scenario For flights departing from an infected area, it is mandated for each passenger and crewmem-
ber to wear health status monitors (sensors) for body temperature, oxygen saturation rate,
blood pressure, etc., for the entire flight duration. The collected health data are analysed
during the transportation time to detect any person who might be infected and an appropri-
ate action, such as seclusion, is taken as early as possible. The collected health data is also
transferred to the health authority to double-check the possibility of the infectious disease.
The health monitoring should be continued after the arrival of a person suspected of infec-
tion at their destination under the mandated healthcare regulations of the destination. The
said person(s) will need to keep wearing the health status monitor provided at the departing
location, since there might be infected people who have not yet developed symptoms of the
disease during their transportation time. The monitoring could be continued by the adminis-
tration of the transportation facility under the control of their healthcare regulator.
The health status monitoring task is then transferred to the next transportation service pro-
vider under the control of the next healthcare regulator for those who proceed to another
international transportation service, and to a local telecom service operator under the control
of the healthcare regulator of the country/area of arrival for those who stay there.
With the mandate to continue wearing the health status monitor provided at in-flight pre-
cautionary continuous monitoring, the monitoring is accomplished with the assistance of a
mobile telecom operator until the risk of infection is cleared.

User groups • Healthcare authorities;
• Airline carrier;
• Airport administrators.

Benefit Detecting symptoms of infectious diseases as early as possible for the purpose of taking
appropriate action as instructed by healthcare authorities and contribute to prevent or miti-
gate the expansion of infectious diseases.
