Orlando International Airport is collaborating with SYNECT to install an Evenflow Crowd Radar system that measures the number of people at the gate areas and delivers the information via digital signs and custom lights throughout the airport.
Variable light intensity and color-coded messaging provides travelers real-time data so they can make decisions on when to proceed to their gate, where to sit and how to maintain social distancing while moving through the airport.
The system uses Lidar, heat mapping/Safe Space, ReadySeeGo, and custom light poles “Social Lights” to provide real-time view of:
- Open or crowded areas for social distancing, wayfinding, etc.
- Real-time views of cleaned chairs, facilities via tracking cleaning staff with special badges
- In-depth visibility for the airport operator to track data and passenger behavior and measure impact
The Evenflow Crowd Radar is being tested at gates 101-109, with the pilot period lasting for several months, after which the data will be analyzed and the airport will evaluate whether to deploy the technology airport-wide.
“While we are encouraged by increasing passenger traffic, we know the responsibility to maintain our guests’ well-being increases as well,” said Phil Brown, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority CEO. “This new system will hopefully help passengers make informed decisions and reduce the anxiety that accompanies travel during these challenging times.”
