Panel discussion: Curbside evolution – data-driven solutions for efficient airport operations and better customer experience

The evolution of technology and processing power has opened many opportunities for the complex infrastructure in states. What was supposed to be the traditional design is now being designed as flexible to cope with future variations in traffic demands. The heart of the flexible infrastructure is derived from robust data collection, which gives the owner the operational insights needed to change operations based on real-time traffic and pedestrian demands.

The audience will learn:

  • The unique operational challenges faced at the airport curbside, where traffic congestion, fluctuating pedestrian demands and resource allocation can create bottlenecks
  • The types of valuable data that can be collected outside the terminal, including traffic flow, pedestrian movement and vehicle dwell times
  • The power of AI-based solution. What challenges can be expected when considering AI-based technologies for curbside management?
  • The success story of a US airport's groundbreaking curbside monitoring and analytics system
