The Optimization Using Electric Ground Support Equipment in Aviation Industry

Abstract

An airport is one of the country's infrastructures that provides air transportation services. In providing its services, To ensure aircraft safety, airports must conform to a set of international technical operating standards and planned operating procedures. In addition, airports also have a social responsibility to prevent pollution and support eco green. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a benefit cost analysis using electric ground support equipment in aviation industry, both for using e-GSE using diesel and using e-GSE using electricity. The method used in this research is the Benefit Cost Ratio method. Based on the research results, it shows that the use of e-GSE using both diesel and electricity is feasible because it has an net present value (NPV) value of more than 0. However, when compared with the assumption of 25 years of use, the use of e-GSE using diesel is considered more profitable than using electricity.

Analisis Kinerja Operator Ground Support Equipment dalam Proses Penanganan Pesawat di Bandara Tjilik Riwut Palangkaraya oleh PT. Mulio Citra Angkasa (MCA)

“…Aspek pengaturan parkir pesawat dan pengisian bahan bakar juga merupakan bagian penting dari ground handling, yang melibatkan perencanaan yang cermat untuk memaksimalkan efisiensi dan keamanan di area apron. Dengan memiliki standar operasional yang ketat dan tenaga kerja yang terlatih, ground handling berperan penting dalam menjaga keamanan, ketepatan waktu, dan kenyamanan dalam perjalanan udara bagi penumpang dan pihak terkait (Sari, 2022).…”

Energy Forecasting Model for Ground Movement Operation in Green Airport

“…Ref. [42] analysed the benefits of adopting electric ground support equipment (EGSE) in the aerospace industry using a benefit-cost ratio approach. The cost of diesel-and electricity-powered EGSE was also evaluated in the study, and it was found that both options are financially feasible, with the diesel-powered EGSE having a longer usable life.…”

The application of target tracking algorithm in intelligent video system to flight support

“…Flight ground support refers to the service process centered around passengers, cargo, and aircraft maintenance, which occurs between two key support points: when an aircraft arrives at its parking position and when it departs from it [1][2][3] [4]. With the gradual easing of the global pandemic and the gradual reopening of borders by various countries, air transportation volumes are steadily recovering and expected to continue growing smoothly.…”
