Abstract: Examples provide an airport operations management system including a fleet management device including an electronic processor configured to receive first operational data from an airport operational data source. Based on the first operational data, the electronic processor determines a set of tasks for transporting aircraft baggage, and a predicted traffic flow of a plurality of fleet vehicles and a plurality of aircrafts operating in an airport. Based on the predicted traffic flow, the electronic processor assigns the set of tasks to a fleet device associated with an autonomous fleet vehicle of the plurality of fleet vehicles, and transmits instructions for executing the set of tasks to the fleet device for display on a display screen of the fleet device. The autonomous fleet vehicle includes a transportation system configured to operate according to the instructions for executing the set of tasks.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide an autonomous vehicle for operation in an airport. The autonomous vehicle includes a frame, a platform coupled to the frame and configured to support a load, a plurality of obstacle depth sensors positioned relative to the frame and together configured to detect obstacles 360 degrees about the frame, an obstacle planar sensor positioned relative to the frame and configured to detect obstacles in a horizontal plane about the frame, and an electronic processor coupled to the plurality of obstacle depth sensors and the obstacle planar sensor. The electronic processor is configured to operate the autonomous vehicle based on obstacles detected by the plurality of obstacle depth sensors and the obstacle planar sensor.
