Airport
Security-
All over the world airports are situated to provide fast and economic transportation to your destination. With flight however comes a huge security risk so with it airports must develop a sophisticated security system to protect holidaymakers and businessmen from potential threats!
CCTV is installed across the airport and inside the planes themselves this way images can be viewed in a control room so that if a problem does arise it can be located and dealt with quickly and efficiently and staff can relay information to security teams on the floor if required.
As well as CCTV Metal detectors and X ray scanners are used to make sure people are not bringing any dangerous items onto the flight on their person without having to remove their clothing, this saves time and embarrasment.
When entering a country Border Control has installed measures to stop immigration passports can be updated to accommodate a microchip to stop forgery These methods of ICT Security help keep us safe while we are traveling through the air!
Guidance Systems-
When in the air pilots need all the help they can get to keep the plane on the right track and prevent it from crashing, on a foggy day a pilot may not be able to see more than 20m out of his plane, with loss of sight it would be impossible to land safely and so electronic guidance systems can be used. Satellites can pinpoint the planes position and relay the data to the pilots, equipment on board can show altitude,speed and bearing and computerised maps and flight paths can be used to guide the pilot to their destination. As well as all these techniques incorporated into planes, Auto pilot can be used to electronically guide the plane unmanned making the job for the pilot much easier and the overall flight much more enjoyable.

Whether you are on an assignment for work or driving across the country to visit a relative Sat Navs can be extremely helpful. For some of us using a map is rocket science and you can never find where you are, however satellites can triangulate your position in seconds to a few meters and not only tell you where you are anywhere in the world but also give you a range of other important information such as your speed, direction and time to destination! Satellite Navigation is easy to use and extremely effective by placing in two postcodes your Tom Tom can find the best route from where you are to your destination from a range of criteria such as fastest route, shortest route and avoiding certain areas this way you can tell how you want to get there and the Sat Nav will do it. as well as all this when on the road a voice can tell you where to get of and if your over the speed limit, that way you can keep your eyes on the road and have a safer less stressful trip!
