AEM-SPEEDPORT

AEM-Speedport
Autonomous maneuvering of aircraft without
engine power

The “AEM-Speedport” project is investigating how aircraft can be automatically maneuvered between parking positions, the runway area, and the gate without using engine power. The plan is to establish an interactive control center that monitors and controls aircraft movements using sensors and AI-supported methods. The project’s approach is aimed at developing and testing automated processes on the apron and in adjacent operational areas. Potential impacts on energy consumption, emissions, process times, and operational safety are evaluated in the project based on defined criteria; reliable impact assessments require corresponding validation results.
