Entrances: The Start of the Airport Journey
Challenge
Airport operators are interested in keeping areas within the terminal operating smoothly to avoid disruptive clustering at curbside drop-offs and taxi ranks. Responding quickly to situations that risk disrupting passenger flows at terminal entryways is a task beyond the scope of manual observation.
Without a robust system to accurately capture passenger flow data, operators may face the following challenges:
- Queuing situations that disrupt operations within and surrounding terminals
- Negative passenger experiences because of traffic at airport entrances
- Heightened liability profile because of congested entry and exit ways
Solution
Real-time passenger flow data is essential for quickly responding to situations before they impact terminal performance. A Passenger Flow Management System (PFMS) can automatically alert staff of potential issues before they disrupt operations.
Operators can help floor managers optimize terminal performance by choosing a PFMS capable of transforming objective data about passenger flows into actionable insights. With accurate historical data and real-time alerting, terminal managers can:
- Allocate staff to prevent entryway queues that risk service levels
- Improve resource planning based on observable trends
- Produce reports about third-party service provider performance
Benefits
Understanding passenger flows from curb to gate is critical for optimizing staff allocation and arranging spaces to ensure smooth operations.
A robust, scalable system that operators can link with a data capture protocol across terminal touchpoints can help operators:
- Prevent traffic congestion in areas surrounding the airport terminal
- Enrich the passenger experience from curb to gate
- Improve taxi rank and ridesharing flows
