Airport tracking leverages RTLS, geofencing, and IoT technologies to provide continuous, real-time visibility into the movement of assets, vehicles, and personnel across terminals, runways, and service areas. This integrated approach improves safety by preventing unauthorized access and enabling rapid response to incidents, while also streamlining operations through better coordination and resource allocation. With detailed location data and automated alerts, airports can reduce delays, optimize workflows, and enhance the overall passenger experience.

An Almost Catastrophic Delivery: Preventing the Next Runway Incursion

Runway incursions remain one of the most critical safety challenges for airports, with incidents often stemming from unauthorized access by vehicles or personnel unfamiliar with airport layouts. Current manual systems are increasingly strained by labor shortages and high turnover, exposing vulnerabilities in safeguarding restricted areas. Adopting advanced real-time location technology can address these risks, ensuring proactive monitoring, precise intervention, and enhanced operational safety across the airside environment.

Location Technology Can Deliver Happier Airline Passengers, Cleaner Bathrooms and Fewer Missed Connections.

Ramsey Nuwar, an aviation expert and consultant for Volan Technology, discusses how post-pandemic passenger traffic has prompted airports to adopt technologies like micro-location to enhance operations and customer satisfaction. Micro-location technology, which accurately tracks the location of employees and assets within the terminal, can significantly improve the passenger experience by optimizing resources such as golf carts for assisting passengers, predicting demand, and reducing wait times and missed connections.
