Building a smart apron control system
Incheon Airport operates a total of three control towers: one main control tower and two apron
control towers. The main tower oversees aircraft takeoffs and landings as well as movements on

the runways and taxiways, while the apron control towers manage aircraft movement between the
apron, terminal, and concourse. Through the Phase 4 project, Incheon Airport developed a smart
apron control system (smart integrated control platform) at the apron control towers, incorporating
advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR). This

system integrates CCTV feeds and operational information (airport surface detection equipment,
Instrumental Landing System) through digital twin AR technology, enabling controllers to
monitor blind spots and maintain safe operations even in limited visibility caused by adverse
weather or fog.
