Installing the World’s First Mobility Cart Tracking System at JFK Terminal 4 Without Missing a Beat

At JFK Terminal 4, Volan Technology installed a complete mobility cart tracking system overnight, without disrupting passengers, operations, or the busy flow of the terminal. Travelers can now see precisely where carts are and how long they will wait, with live updates displayed on large, easy-to-read digital boards at every pick-up point. Behind the scenes, the same network gives JFKIAT powerful analytics to optimize service, improve staffing decisions, and expand tracking to other assets in the future.
