The warmth of technology lies in its application for the people. As an important supporting facility for urban life, how to make civil aviation airports safer, more efficient, smarter, and more convenient is a key focus. The airport intelligent simulation platform created by Brilliant Corporation based on digital twin technology is precisely aimed at this goal.

On July 16, 2025, at the first Geographic Information Innovation Achievements Release, Promotion, and Exchange Conference hosted by the China Association of Geographic Information Industries, the "Brilliant Airport Operations Perception and Simulation Platform," an industry-academia-research innovation achievement developed by Beijing Brilliant Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as Brilliant Corporation), was successfully selected for the second batch of released achievements. This marks an important step for Brilliant Corporation in the field of smart civil aviation and digital construction.

"The Brilliant Airport Operations Perception and Simulation Platform breaks through traditional technological boundaries and plays a vital role in empowering the construction of smart airports with its core capabilities in simulation interaction, business management, and intelligent deduction," said Xiang Xiaoguang, Chief Engineer of Product Design at Brilliant Corporation, at the promotion conference. Currently, this application achievement, with four major functional sets of twin scene construction, data integration and fusion, twin visualization development, and holographic 3D rendering, enables users to build the best perspective for data display and business simulation on a global scale around business processes, providing smart and efficient solutions for the full life cycle management of airports.

Digital Twin Technology: Strengthening the Full Life Cycle of Smart Airports

Currently, civil aviation airports are facing numerous challenges such as large business scales, multiple operating entities, and complex operational conditions. The "Brilliant Airport Operations Perception and Simulation Platform" integrates four major innovative functions—diverse perception, precise collection, simulation, and intelligent deduction—throughout the entire life cycle of airport planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance, comprehensively empowering the operational efficiency upgrade of smart airports.

Diverse Perception: The multi-dimensional operational situation perception technology achieves precise identification and real-time positioning of core elements such as aircraft and support vehicles by deeply integrating multi-source location perception data, flexibly applying diverse data processing methods, and combining intelligent constraints based on operational rules. This lays a solid foundation for the dynamic supervision of all airport elements.

Precise Collection: The visual and large model automatic collection technology successfully overcomes the pain points of complex environment recognition. After being trained and refined with over 100,000 samples, the recognition accuracy rate in actual business scenarios reaches as high as 98%, making intelligent perception in complex scenarios more reliable.

Simulation: The digital twin-driven simulation technology, relying on its multi-dimensional data feature extraction capabilities, can accurately predict operational dynamics within the next 30 minutes and conduct advance simulations of the overall situation for the following day, providing forward-looking guidance for operational decision-making.

Intelligent Deduction: The simulation deduction evaluation technology constructs an indicator system covering more than 100 key dimensions, enabling scientific quantitative comparison and optimization of scheduling plans, making airport scheduling smarter and more efficient.

AI Integration Technology for Operation and Maintenance, Assisting in Efficient and Intelligent Decision-Making

With the continuous growth of civil aviation travel demand and the increasing pursuit of travel experience and efficiency by users, airports are under significant operational pressure. The "Brilliant Airport Operations Perception and Simulation Platform" can achieve comprehensive intelligent collaborative operation of airports, significantly improving operational efficiency and safety assurance.

In the daily operations of the Capital Airport Operations Control Center, Brilliant Corporation focuses on the automation and intelligence of airport operations scheduling. It has carried out comprehensive digital management of equipment, operational entities, and personnel within the airport area. The user unit has achieved efficient airport operations and intelligent monitoring through the platform: the airport's bridge docking rate has increased by 3-5%, with approximately 5,000 passengers able to directly enter and exit the port through the jet bridge each day. The average time for passengers to enter and exit the port has been shortened by 10-15 minutes, and the number of flights affected by flight direction changes has been reduced by 20%, achieving remarkable results.

Similarly, in the maintenance operations of Xi'an Xianyang Airport, digital twin technology has demonstrated strong empowerment. Based on the airport's ACDM collaborative operations, Brilliant Corporation has integrated "digital twin + AI" simulation technology to systematically manage the actual resource allocation rules, flight taxiing rules, operational support rules, and flight plans of the airport. This has enabled dynamic simulation and monitoring of the terminal area's operations throughout the day, providing intelligent early warnings and scientific decision-making solutions for airport users.

The construction of smart civil aviation is the main line of civil aviation development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. With the increasing urgency of intelligent upgrading needs in airport operations management and planning, Brilliant Corporation's disruptive innovation achievement, the "Airport Operations Perception and Simulation Platform," not only deeply aligns with the national strategy of promoting smart transportation but also shows significant application potential in the construction of smart civil aviation. It is profoundly reshaping the operational models and management methods of smart civil aviation, helping to achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and smart management upgrades.

In the future, Brilliant Corporation will continue to deepen the integration of "digital twin + AI" technology and implement the integration results in more smart civil aviation application scenarios, adding digital "wings for takeoff" to the new infrastructure of smart airports.
