ARC's PAX FLOW SOLUTION enables predictive analyses of the various processes in an airport terminal. Integrated into the airport’s operating systems, this solution provides the best possible forecast on the next hours of operations. Thus, airport operators can use and staff resources more efficiently, leading to an improved passenger comfort and reduced operational costs.
- Compared to other approaches with predictions purely driven by historical data, the PAX Flow Solution is based on the digital twin concept, meaning that a simulation model of the passenger terminal with all relevant processes calculates the prediction results.
- The simulation model is integrated within the airport’s operational systems and has interfaces to available live data sources and tracking information.
- Based on the constantly updated simulation results actions to optimize the passenger flow and mitigate capacity issues on the day of operation can be evaluated in advance before these problems become reality.
- As there might be different options to solve critical problems the stakeholders can even use the simulation platform to run their own ‘What-if’ scenarios to make smart decisions.
