\nWith mounting operational pressures, airports face multiple challenges such as complex safety issues, limited operational resources, and low passenger satisfaction. Consequently, the contradiction between the rapid growth of air transportation volume and insufficient operational support capabilities is prominent. Improving passenger flow is a crucial area of focus as it means that airports can handle increasing traffic without sacrificing passenger experience.<\/p>\n
NEXT\u2019s solution offers air travelers the convenience of completing a majority of the check in process during their commute to the airport. The solution is based on NEXT\u2019s patented modular vehicle platform, which allows individual pods to connect in motion and form a fleet. Once pods are connected, the internal space of the fleet is utilized similar to a buses or rail. While en route, various security technologies are applied in combination to ensure a layered approach to security.<\/p>\n
NEXT\u2019s passenger authentication solution utilizes artificial intelligence, biometric and facial recognition to accelerate the check in process. A comprehensive range of detection systems screen passengers and their baggage.<\/p>\n
\u201cNEXT\u2019s new solution provides airports with an innovative platform to enhance the passenger experience. Airlines will value the simplified processes, reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction, while airports will profit from the improved use of existing infrastructure and better service,\u201d said Emmanuele Spera, CEO of NEXT.<\/p>\n
With most airports serving as multi-modal transportation hubs for passengers and trade, the current challenge is to transform existing systems and processes to become more intelligent, interconnected and simple to use for all stakeholders. As part of NEXT\u2019s airport solution, its integrated data collection process will offer aviation stakeholders far greater insights into capacity planning, crowd-modeling, real-time staff requirements and security needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe designed a frictionless door-to-airport passenger experience with the ambition to build a modular, human-centric,\u00a0and environmentally-friendly solution\u00a0based on the notion of processing travelers in a contactless manner. Delivering travelers fully credentialed to the airport helps remove the tension between passengers and airlines,\u201d said Tommaso Gecchelin, CTO of NEXT.<\/p>\n
NEXT\u2019s new solution will become an essential marketing and promotional platform for airports.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe growing inclination of personalized passenger services is generating abundant opportunities for partnerships. NEXT is focused on collaborating with aviation stakeholders who are exceptionally committed to being at the forefront of the industry,\u201d said Sven Hackmann, EVP of NEXT.<\/p>\n
