Airport Operational Database:        

The AODB may be required to operate various modules/interfaces at the airport. Using the ASI operational database, all of the airports systems are tied into a central SQL database. The system draws information from the airline's systems, and the flight information systems to determine the factors for billing. The billing option is completely configurable to the airport's requirements.



All of the communication between the systems happens in real-time with no delays. This means that if someone changes the gate assignment in the gate scheduler, that it is reflected on the airport monitors/LEDs and also in the billing software. All of the data held in each system flows seamlessly on TCP/IP communications layers -- the most commonly used protocol available.

Automated Billing:        

Among the new products proposed is the (ABS) Automated Billing System. This system will monitor information from the Gate Management System, Flight Information Display System and CUTE system. The information from these varied systems will be used to create an exportable data stream (for accounting purposes) and a financial report for invoicing purposes. The reports can be customized to the airport's requirements and outputted to formats supported by the major accounting programs.

Billing Formats:        

The system allows for invoices to be quickly created facilitating in the collection of operations from the various airlines operating at the airport. The airport may create custom reports from the various fields used in the database including, but not limited to:

  Flights   Gates
  Carriers   Tow Information
  Hold Rooms   Airplanes
  Passengers   Landing Fees

Reports can then be printed on any Windows-supported printer or exported to one of the various formats for records or future use. The range of data is user defined on the system so that billing reports are available from not only current data but also archived data. TSI analyzes the current billing and invoicing system used by the airport and provides a complete packaged solution.
