Diverse applications are expected to appear in the future with complex and often varying service requirements, traffic profiles and user expectations. These will require extremely advanced adaptive computing and communication systems to provide users with mobile, secure and automatic means of conducting business. A prime application area is in international travel which continues to grow supported by a significant investment in infrastructure, such as Heathrow Terminal 5.An intelligent, adaptive, self-organising wired/wireless infrastructure is essential in this environment. It is anticipated that the considerable growth in the complexity of this infrastructure will not just be due to the proliferation of established fixed equipment such as wireless base stations, surveillance cameras, security detection equipment, display and terminal equipment. The requirements will also be for a much wider deployment of more compact portable equipment, for example, location and control equipment on a wide range of transportation equipment. Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags supported by a transparent optical-RF network can be used to sense, locate and track an array of objects including luggage, mobile assets and commercial goods and can provide additional features such as boarding pass auto-tags and access control tags. The RFID tags will operate at low data rates, typically 64 kbit/s, but an airport environment can be expected to contain a few million of them. Mobile biometric sensors will be widely deployed in this environment providing advanced features. A range of fixed and mobile terminals will provide additional security measures such as chemical detection and analysis, while other terminals, fixed and mobile, will support passenger information and entertainment services on transit. The infrastructure will support an array of personal passenger and staff wireless media rich devices. The wired/wireless network envisaged will thus be huge and complex, supporting perhaps 10 million information sources, with an anticipated peak aggregate data rate of order 500 Gbit/s in a relatively local access environment. This is beyond the capability of any current network and research is needed to understand the principles upon which an effective system could be constructed.As this is such an ambitious and multidisciplinary project, a collaborative programme is proposed. The project has strong industrial involvement and support from Laing O'Rourke who will provide the application context, share design experience, user requirements and architectural constraints and Marconi who will contribute expertise in complex communication system design. At the outline proposal stage, we received feedback from EPSRC that they would welcome additional collaborations with those involved in airport operations. We are delighted that, in response, BAA and Boeing have agreed to become involved in the project, and within UCL links have been made to Dr Paul Brennan, who will contribute substantial knowledge of RfID, being involved in a major European project in the area. Finally we have additionally sought to involve equipment companies including Motorola and Agilent to ensure that we can receive expert advice across all areas within the project.

预计将来会出现各种应用程序，并具有复杂且通常不同的服务要求，流量配置文件和用户期望。这些将需要极其高级的自适应计算和通信系统，以为用户提供移动，安全和自动进行业务的方式。国际旅行中有一个主要的应用领域，它在基础设施上的大量投资（例如希思罗机场终端5）继续增长。可以预计，该基础设施的复杂性的显着增长将不仅仅是由于已建立的固定设备的扩散，例如无线基站，监视摄像头，安全检测设备，显示器和终端设备。这些要求还将用于更广泛的便携式设备（例如，在各种运输设备上的位置和控制设备）更广泛地部署。透明光学RF网络支持的射频标识（RFID）标签可用于感知，定位和跟踪一系列对象，包括行李，移动资产和商业商品，并可以提供其他功能，例如寄宿通行证自动标签和访问控制标签。 RFID标签将以较低的数据速率（通常为64 kbit/s）运行，但预计机场环境将包含几百万。移动生物识别传感器将在此环境中广泛部署，提供高级功能。一系列固定终端和移动终端将提供其他安全措施，例如化学检测和分析，而其他固定和移动的终端将支持运输中的乘客信息和娱乐服务。基础架构将支持一系列个人乘客和员工无线媒体富设备。因此，设想的有线/无线网络将是巨大而复杂的，可能会支持1000万个信息源，并在相对本地的访问环境中预期的500 GBIT/s订单的峰值汇总数据速率。这超出了任何当前网络的能力，需要研究来了解可以构建有效系统的原则。由于这是一个雄心勃勃的多学科项目，因此提出了一个协作计划。该项目具有Laing O'Rourke的强烈工业参与和支持，他将提供应用程序上下文，共享设计经验，用户需求和建筑限制，而Marconi将在复杂的通信系统设计中贡献专业知识。在大纲提案阶段，我们收到了EPSRC的反馈，他们欢迎与参与机场运营的人进行其他合作。我们很高兴，作为回应，BAA和波音公司已同意参与该项目，并且在UCL的链接中已经向Paul Brennan博士建立了链接，Paul Brennan博士将对RFID贡献丰富的知识，并参与该地区的一个主要欧洲项目。最后，我们还试图让包括摩托罗拉和安捷伦在内的设备公司参与，以确保我们可以在项目中的所有领域获得专家建议。
