DIAL begins installation of IoT devices on vehicles used at IGI airport
The Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) has started installing internet-of-things devices on its vehicles used at Indira Gandhi International Airport to save fuel, enhance safety, track their locations and schedule their maintenance.
The IoT devices save all data related to the movement of a vehicle, like time, distance, fuel in the vehicle, if the vehicle is idle or moving, etc. These devices help in saving 23 percent fuel in the utility vehicles used by airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF), airside operations, security and project and engineering (P&E) teams.
DIAL said, “The IoT devices send alerts to authorities concerned whenever there is any violation of safety rules, like driving above the permitted speed limits, driving in or out of designated areas on the airside, etc.” The GMR Group-led DIAL which owns and manages the Delhi airport, will install IoT devices in a phased manner on all its vehicles by the end of this month.
Any unauthorized use of vehicles like running the air conditioning while the vehicle is standing, taking a vehicle out of the permitted area, etc. could be monitored easily with the help of these devices. In this way, DIAL managed to save on fuel and check emissions also.
