CAST PAX FLOW - REAL TIME PREDICTION AND OPTIMIZATION
The PAX FLOW SOLUTION is designed especially for the needs of airport operators
to support the operational terminal processes. The solution can be used for real-time
prediction of terminal processes in an operational environment as well as for tactical
terminal capacity planning.
To optimize passenger flows and process planning on the day of operation, the solution
accesses the airport’s IT data like AODB, resource management systems and live process
monitoring systems. PAX Flow Solution automatically and regularly simulates the next
hours of operation based on the latest system data available. This gives the airport
operator the most precise real-time prediction on the passenger flows in the terminal and
allows an optimized resource supply including the expected waiting times.
The execution of “what-if-scenarios” allows the user to analyse and compare
different scenarios. Hence, the airport operator will be perfectly prepared if
there are for example additional flights, a failure of resources or a delayed fl ight.
Dashboard views on the results compared to live-data give a predictive insight and
common understanding of the expected terminal operation to all relevant stakeholders.
Thus it becomes easy to identify the most suitable solution to overcome the challenges of
changing conditions.
