Day 3 - 17 March
Session:
IASA Forum


12:05 - 12:35 - Intermodal airport management with passenger trajectories
Synopsis: The idea behind passenger trajectory is the standardised exchange of information between travellers and the transport infrastructure operators involved, in order to provide advantage to both. At management level, infrastructure providers and vehicle operators may reorganise their processes depending on their completed situational awareness. At an individual's level, the connectivity increases by being guided on the door-to-door journey. Furthermore, collaborative decision making with multi-stakeholder arrangements may find optimal solutions for operational challenges.
