Geoinformation support of national safety of aviation transport

Abstract

Air transport security is an integral part of national security. The lack of eff ective aviation’s safety management system, as well as eff ective supervision of the relevant state structures on these issues has led to a low level of safety in this type of transport. Therefore, there is a need to create a GIS for aviation transport with subsequent integration of the national security state GIS of Ukraine.

The purpose of this article is to study a model for the implementation of national security strategies by means of GIS and a database model for the national security of air transport; fi guring out some of the factors, aff ecting the safety and transportation of passengers and transport, for example, the growth of passenger traffi c at the airports of Ukraine.

Main material. The article investigates the object of geoinformation mapping of aviation security as a structural part of the national security of Ukraine. GIS ability to integrate data coming in real time from various sources allows maintaining the overall level of security in the society, presented in the form of a graphical model for the implementation of national security strategies using GIS. The article considers the database designing stages of national security of air transport, including the conceptual, logical and physical ones. The authors developed corresponding data models for each of them. A graphical model shows structural connection of the national security data of air transport, which takes into account the available forms of presentation of the initial data in their structure. To analyze the aviation security of the airport, the database includes the data of operational reports on takeoff s and landings of aircrafts, monitoring of the aircrafts during fl ights, parking and basing of air and service transport and other information in separate fi les of various formats. the authors analyze some factors aff ecting the safety and transportation of passengers and transport, for example, the growth of passenger traffi c at the airports of Ukraine.

Conclusions and further research. Safe operation of the airports in our country should be based on the activities of the optimal organization of databases, implementing all the necessary relationships between data elements and integrating separate GIS of aviation security into the GIS of national security of the country. Based on the above, the article highlights the role of database integration and organization of sharing with a clear restriction / provision of access to them.
