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

Required data • Details to be decided by the instructions of the World Health Organization (WHO) depend-
ing on the targeted infectious disease.
• Reports from flight crews on situations and activities in the aircraft, such as medical reports
through ACARS.
Data sources • Wearable health status monitor (sensors);
• In-seat sensors;
• AOC messages.
Special considerations The framework is studied at Q28/16 as F.MCDC [1], and close collaboration of related organi-
zations such as WHO and civil aviation industries is expected.
Amount of data Depending on the targeted infectious disease but expected not to be large.

Transmission interval To be decided by the instructions of WHO depending on the targeted infectious disease.
Transmission technologies Short-range wireless communications such as body area network (BAN) to collect health data
from monitoring devices.
VHF, satellite, WiFi, WGL, GSM to transfer the collected health data to healthcare authorities
on the ground for analysis and appropriate action.

4.25 Entertainment based on flight data

Video games, especially flight simulators, can use real flight data, including the exact trajectory, to simulate
other traffic in the game or to re-enact real technical problems.
This use case is not further developed in this document.

4.26 Medical and health management on air travel

Description Collection and analysis of air travel activities for medical studies. For example, study the
impact on the crew and passengers of cabin humidity, noise levels, etc., in the cabin and also
noise and emission pollution on the ground due to air travel.

Scenario The data on the aircraft gets collected and transmitted to the ground systems for analysis.
Depending on the sensors available on the aircraft model, different parameters will be available.
Airlines and medical research groups process and evaluate the data.
User groups • Medical researchers;
• Airlines;
• Regulatory authorities;
• Airports.

Benefit • Improving the working and living conditions.

Required data • Traditional flight data (position, altitude, speed, thrust settings, etc.).
• Cabin sensors (humidity, temperature, noise).
Data sources • FDR;
• Cabin environmental systems.
Additional sources: primary radar and ground sensor stations.
Special considerations None.

Amount of data Depends on the available sensors.
Transmission interval Post-flight transmission.
