The solution integrates Outsight's Spatial AI technology directly into NEC's airport management systems, providing real-time 3D understanding of airport environments. This combined platform supports a wide range of operation and passenger experience improvements, including:
- Better passenger flow management with precise crowd density monitoring
- Greater operational efficiency through real-time spatial analytics
- Stronger security capabilities via automated behavioral analysis
- Data-informed decisions using comprehensive 3D environmental insights
Real-world deployment brings results
These capabilities are already being realized at a major international airport in North America, where the integrated system delivers anonymized spatial analysis at TSA checkpoints. The technology estimates queue density, passenger flow and wait times, with data shared on lobby displays to support real-time communication and travel awareness.
Technology stack combines LiDAR, AI and airport management systems
Outsight's Spatial Intelligence Platform, based on LiDAR technology, captures and analyzes precise 3D environmental data. NEC's platform processes and contextualizes this information for airport operations teams. Together, the technologies provide:
