INTRODUCING NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO AIRORT PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MONITORING IN TOKYO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Abstract

 Since Tokyo International Airport is built on the very soft reclaimed land, it has been required for more than 30 years to continuously monitor surface conditions of airport pavements. On the other hand, improving working conditions of airport pavement observation works and effectively addressing the recent labor shortages is urgent for maintaining sound airport functions and materializing future airport asset management.

 This study aims at, by reviewing remote sensing technologies, dramatically reducing night time pavement observation works in the airport, and paving the way for realizing the digital transformation (DX) of airport pavement management operations.
