GORDIO AIRPORTS ® - Advanced Passenger Flow Forecast Solution for Airports

What is Gordio?

Proactive passenger flow forecasting and resource allocation management system

What does it do?

  • Provides long and short term forecast of demand at airport services (security screening, border control, check-in, etc ... )
  • Predicts detailed passenger flow in all areas of the airport
  • Supports integration to existing control and monitoring systems
  • Optimized for fast and accurate intraday passenger flow forecast
    • Indispensable for proactive passenger flow control
  • Supports long-term resource and shift planning
    • Perfect for resource planning and optimization
  • Includes powerful search and optimization engine
  • Support for baggage handling simulation and forecasting through Inframe Synapse Simulation Suite
  • Dedicated user interfaces for both operational usage and long term planning

What benefits does Gordio bring to an airport?

  • For a long term prediction (1/2 year +) of the demand at a certain process point:
    • helps to allocate the right number of resources => COST REDUCTION
  • For the short term (for the next 2 hours up to 1 week):
    • helps to improve the passenger experience within the terminal
    • service quality increase by suggesting options to prevent long queuing times and adding passengers to crowded areas
  • Everything in between:
    • is a mix of both benefits, depending on how flexible an airport is in the allocation of its resources.

Options to influence passenger flow, to avoid having a critical situation:

  • Increase capacity in critical service points
  • Change plane and bus transfer allocations to gates
  • Reroute passengers thru less crowded areas

Benefits of Gordio Airport

Still not convinced by Gordio…

  • No other out-of-the-box solution on the market matching the performance requirements
  • 80% - 90% prediction accuracy compared to reality
  • Up to 1 sec/h simulation speed
  • System running 24/7 for the last year without any failure and external intervention at Frankfurt Airport
  • Cutting edge technologies
  • Fastest agent based pedestrian simulation algorithm existing in the literature, adapted to
    • Multi threaded environment (Same process multiple threads)
    • Distributed processing (Distribute over several computers)
    • GPGPU – General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units
  • Distributed discrete event simulation
    • Efficiently solve event synchronization problems

And to top it off...

Comment on the IT solution for the comprehensive passenger flow management from Frankfurt Airport Terminal Management:

"Without this solution we weren't be able to manage the summer peak 2011 in the way we did: without any mayor problems in the terminal and without immoderate waiting times for the passengers at the checkpoints!"

... and July 2011 was the busiest month ever at FRA with over 5,5 Mio passengers !!!
