Geo-spatial Information System (GIS) and Geo-spatial Data Infrastructure (GDI) in the planning, design, development and management of the Niger Delta Transport Network: Geospatial Information System has been regarded as a base for all Civil Engineering operations [6].
This is because of its ability not only to overlay the various Geo-spatial data and the Attribute data required in the various modes of civil engineering infrastructural development but also to integrate them.

However, for many mechanical engineering machines or structures, there is a demand and necessity to determine real-life modal parameters using actual operating condition.
However, EMA has several limitations where it is difficult to excite artificially many civil engineering and mechanical structures due to their physical size, shape or location and EMA usually conducted in the lab environment [1].
This technique has been successfully used in civil engineering structures (buildings, bridges, platforms, towers) where the natural excitation of the wind is used to extract modal parameters.

Initially part of a military installation, after its conversion to commercial and civil aviation use, it has been characterized for a long time by low traffic volumes to serve the local community.
However, maintenance needs and priorities were usually identified according to engineering judgment, and no specific investigation was devoted to the thorough understanding of the structural performance of the pavement.
After the conversion to commercial and civil aviation use, because of the increased traffic, and pavement conditions degraded over the years.
For this reason APMS development and implementation is currently one of the priorities of Italian Airport Management Companies and an active field of study of the National Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC).
