Abstract
Rapid, accurate management of information regarding leasable properties and buried utilities maintenance data has been a continuing problem at many large airports. This paper describes a unique computerized solution to these problems. A computer system has been developed and installed at a recently opened major international airport that provides fully interactive graphics and text reporting to users at various locations throughout the airport. The system links graphic elements to a data base that contains information about each of these elements. Graphic elements may be polygons, points, or lines. Each type of element has its own selected assortment of data needed to satisfy various applications. The system design provides an extremely simple, rapid means of querying the system. Individual elements or areas to be reported may be selected graphically or by keyboard command. Color or black and white prints are available on demand. The system proved to be a major benefit during initial properties leasing. Solutions to utilities problems that became apparent during early operations have also been expedited by use of this system and it has become an essential tool in maintenance operations for the airport.
