Production solution blueprint

Run a safe, punctual airport turnaround

Coordinate stands, service vehicles, restricted zones, inspections, and turnaround milestones on one governed operating picture.

Business outcomeMore predictable departures with safer vehicle movement and attributable hand-offs across airport and airline teams.

Real-life scenario

The operating situation

A delayed inbound aircraft changes stand while fuel, catering, baggage and inspection teams are already moving. The airport must publish the current approved airside network, re-plan one versioned turnaround, prevent vehicles entering restricted or closed areas, preserve each milestone hand-off, and avoid declaring departure-ready until airline, airport and safety authorities agree.

Component architecture

Keep authority explicit across the stack

01Airport operational authorityAirport and airline systems own stands, movement permissions, flight milestones, safety zones, people, equipment and departure decisions; Mappls-derived experiences do not grant aviation or airside authority.

02Versioned spatial operating pictureGoverned enterprise layers publish stands, service roads, closures, restricted zones and emergency access with source, steward, CRS, sensitivity and effective window.

03Turnaround aggregateOne application-owned plan versions stand, tasks, dependencies, target milestones, responsible organizations and changes after disruption.

04Ground-team executionWorkmate tasks and bounded vehicle observations track accepted assignments, corridor adherence, evidence, pauses and exceptions with offline-safe command identity.

05Readiness reconciliationEvery required authority submits attributable milestone evidence; the coordinator derives readiness but never overwrites an authority's source record.

Complete journey

From intent to reconciled outcome

1

Stage 1

Publish the approved airside network and restricted zones

Capture intent and source evidence without inventing a more precise state than the inputs support.

2

Stage 2

Create one versioned turnaround plan

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

3

Stage 3

Track eligible vehicles and milestone hand-offs

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

4

Stage 4

Capture inspection and exception evidence

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

5

Stage 5

Reconcile departure readiness across authorities

Reconcile the terminal result to every authoritative system and retain attributable evidence.

Data and state contracts

Records that must survive restarts and retries

Airside layer ↔ authority, version, effective window, sensitivity and closure state

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Turnaround ↔ flight/stand references, milestone graph, version and accountable coordinator

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Task ↔ organization, eligibility, equipment, zone policy and evidence

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Vehicle event ↔ device/assignment identity, event/receipt time and approved-network version

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Readiness ↔ required authority decisions, unresolved exceptions and final revision

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Operational risk

Design recovery before rollout

Stand changes after teams accept tasks

Create a new turnaround revision, invalidate incompatible assignments and corridor evidence, and require explicit reacceptance rather than mutating in place.

A vehicle appears outside its approved corridor

Preserve accuracy and network version, alert operations, stop affected automation and require safety review; never infer culpability from a point alone.

One supplier reports complete while another dependency is open

Keep the supplier milestone complete but departure readiness blocked, showing the exact dependency and responsible authority.
