Traditional Passenger Processing Services MUFIDS Common Use Electronic signage and way finding Baggage Handling System Airport paging 2
The New Trend Extend the self-service experience Airport managed access and use of airline data for common processes New community applications (bag drop, security checkpoint, passenger tracking) Common flow self-service as prime path Boarding pass anywhere Automate baggage drop Automate security Automate boarding Automate arrival 2D barcode at all touch points Rethink everything! 3
Directing Through Standards IATA, ACI Working Groups, & Supporting TRB projects Common Use Passenger Processing Systems (CUPPS) Aviation Information Data Exchange (AIDX) Passenger Self Tagging Baggage Data New industry standards Data management Application development 4

Self Tagging Airline Case Study AA Very Pleased Time studies show 40% to 60% improvement on check-in Mis-Tag reduced by 15% 45% of passengers w/bags use Self Tagging Lessons Learned: Queue and scale placement Use of varied kiosks Collaboration with airport officials Customer perception Bag tag design AA Progress at AUS 10
Self Tagging Airline Case Study Air New Zealand Improve customer service for the 95% Reduced square foot print by 1/3 Took risk at completely changing passenger check-in process Bag weight restriction enforced post bag acceptance Auckland Airport Domestic Terminal 11
Reduce Congestion Safety / Emergency Evacuation Improve Customer Service Navigation Services Dwell Time Dynamics Airline Applications Passenger Tracking Where is my passenger Up-sell, (lounge access) 12
Smart Phone / Bluetooth Tracking Tracking passengers smart phones When passenger comes to the airport, the airport systems are aware Proactive and predictive in passengers journey Proof-of-concept exercises Positive results from surveys 13
Smart Phone Check-In 14
Smart Phone QR Scanning Scan the QR Code for flight information Quick Surveys Please rate the cleanliness of this restroom Store information 15
Technology Integration FIDS Integration Current Airside Security Wait Times Dynamic Way-Finding Informational Dashboards Exit flow per minute Alarms Business Intelligence 16
Other Technologies RFID Allows home tagging Removes agent interaction Does not require full RFID infrastructure Compatible with existing BHS Reduces lines to a minimum Reduces risk in terminal Tagging in bag room Permanent RFID Tag 17
Other Technologies RFID Potential uses in fixed luggage tags Better read-rates Mobile Technology On-line booking Notifications for passengers Boarding pass check-in Etc. Near Field Communication (NFC) Short-range, high frequency wireless communication technology Allows for the high-speed transfer of data between enabled devices, such as mobile phones Biometric Technology Confirm identity via either fingerprint or facial recognition technology Reduces yet another human interaction touch point 18
Challenges Ahead Using Airport Wireless Infrastructure Bandwidth / Port Density / Coverage Support More Devices Per Person Many New Devices PCI DSS Compliance is Ongoing This means a new ongoing operating expense ADA / Accessibility New Regulations 19
