4K refers to a horizontal image resolution of approximately 4.000 pixel. 4K or Ultra-high-definition (UHD) cameras have a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels. 4K is roughly equivalent with 8 MP.

5G is a new type of mobile communications, enabling a much faster mobile network and a growing number of networked devices.

Airport Collaborative Decision-Making (A-CDM) aims to improve the efficiency and resilience of airport operations by optimizing the use of resources and improving the predictability by encouraging airport partners to exchange relevant information.

Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) estimates the mean traffic volume across all days for a year for a given location along a roadway. AADT is different from ADT because it represents data for the entire year.

Airport Arrival Rate (AAR) is a dynamic parameter that determines the number of aircrafts an airport or airspace can accept within a given hour.

Access Control (AC) in Physical Security is the selective restriction of access to a specified area or resource.

Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a digital datalink system for transmission of short messages between aircraft and ground stations via airband radio or satellite.

Airport Departure Rate (ADR) is a dynamic parameter that defines the number of the aircrafts that can depart a given airport per hour, and the number of aircrafts the airspace can accept in the same hour.

The Average Daily Traffic (ADT), also referred to as mean daily traffic, is the average number of vehicles that travel through a specific point of a road over a short duration time period (often 7 days or less).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science which aims to create machines which are equally intelligent as human beings.

AI Accelerators are designed to accelerate artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, including artificial neural networks and machine vision.

AI NVR is a network video recorder that uses artificial intelligence to enhance surveillance with automated monitoring, smart analytics, and efficient data management.

An AI (Artificial Intelligence) security camera refers to a surveillance camera equipped with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities.

Actual In-Block Time (AIBT) is the time that an aircraft arrives in-blocks. AIBT is equivalent to Airline/Handler ATA –Actual Time of Arrival or ACARS = IN.

Automatic Incident Detection (AID) is a critical feature that addresses a wide range of incidents commonly seen in everyday life. This technology plays an essential role in detecting situations such as wrong-way drivers, car crashes, pedestrians in unsafe areas, and more

Actual Landing Time (ALDT) is the time that an aircraft lands on a runway. ALDT is equivalent to ATC ATA –Actual Time of Arrival = landing or ACARS=ON.

An Airport Layout Plan (ALP) is a graphical, scalar representation of the airport, its existing and anticipated facilities for the future, location on the airport campus, and dimensional information.

Automatic License-Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a video analytics function which automatically reads license-plates of vehicles from a video or video stream.

Automatic Number-Plate Recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition (OCR) and image or video analytics techniques to read and capture the license plate information from vehicles.

Automatic Number-Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are specialized security cameras designed to detect, capture, and log vehicle license plates.

An Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) is a body that manages flight traffic on behalf of a company, region or country. ANSP can be private or public legal bodies.

Air Operations Area (AOA) is the portion of the airport designed and used for aircraft landing, takeoff, or surface maneuvering including the associated hangars, navigation, and communication facilities.

Actual Off Block Time (AOBT) is the time the aircraft pushes back / vacates parking position. AOBT is equivalent to Airline / Handlers ATD – Actual Time of Departure or ACARS=OUT.

Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) systems automatically collect the number of passengers entering and leaving at each stop.

Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) Certification is a formal process through which APC systems and their implementations are evaluated and approved by recognized authorities or organizations.
