WAITO: Mobile Social Travel App
Travel experience heavily depends on our fellow travelers, especially for lonely travelers who can't control whom they may spend the flight sitting next to. Their seatmate remains a complete mystery up till the moment they get on the plane. And the odds of meeting a like-minded person you have much in common with are rather low.
Queue Monitoring System
Unstructured queuing areas are a big challenge for any airport. Striving to manage massive passenger flows, airport operators experience disjointed queue management through the lack of visibility into the queuing process. It results in low desk throughput, long waiting times, and, accordingly, unhappy passengers.To boost operational efficiency and improve customer service, airport operators need a smart software solution that will provide them with real-time insights into the queue performance and help optimize resource utilization.
Apron Management System
Today, many airports struggle with silo operations and uncoordinated processes trying to handle heavy air traffic. It often leads to errors, delays, and poor passenger experience.The key to proper flight schedule adherence and happy customers is the digitalization of the apron. The need of the hour is an efficient system that would help automatically manage aircraft ground operations.
COVID-19 Safety Control System
Due to the pandemic, social distancing and face mask-wearing have become mandatory in many public places, including airports. Today, airports are required to monitor the implementation of these preventive measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of passengers and employees. However, manual monitoring of all passengers and airport workers is a time-consuming and cumbersome task that requires engaging a lot of additional staff.

Challenge

Today, many airports struggle with silo operations and uncoordinated processes trying to handle heavy air traffic. It often leads to errors, delays, and poor passenger experience.

The key to proper flight schedule adherence and happy customers is the digitalization of the apron. The need of the hour is an efficient system that would help automatically manage aircraft ground operations.

Solution

Softarex has developed an Apron Management System for real-time apron monitoring and control. It collects and provides all stakeholders with up-to-the-minute accurate information about flights, equipment status, gate availability, any emerging issues, and more to ensure collaborative and data-driven decision-making and allow managers to avoid delays, congestions, and other disruptions.

The system:

  • Automatically records the aircraft turnaround process;
  • Checks if the turnaround time adheres to the schedule;
  • Detects and tracks anomalies;
  • Performs complex behavioral analysis;
  • Integrates timestamps into wearables to keep ramp agents up to date with the progress;
  • Identifies efficiency, safety, and security issues in real time, ensuring quick responsive actions;
  • Can be integrated with the existing A-CDM.

Project’s results

Our Apron Management System helps airport operators achieve:

  • Real-time visibility into apron operations;
  • Streamlined turnaround;
  • Enhanced flight schedule punctuality;
  • Proactive troubleshooting;
  • Improved security and safety;
  • Optimizes resource allocation;
  • Reduced operational costs.

Technical challenges

  • Real-time processing of video stream from multiple cameras;
  • Development of AI algorithms for building adaptive maintenance plans based on actual utilization;
  • Development of approaches for collecting data on various equipment using IoT and CV methods;
  • Consideration of specifics of operations in the aviation industry.
