CrowdVision launches at Jersey Airport
Ports of Jersey has been considering further opportunities to enhance its overall air passenger journey experience at Jersey Airport and have selected CrowdVision technology to help achieve this.
Ports of Jersey will use CrowdVision to accurately manage its passenger movements and enhance their experience in both real time and over time. CrowdVision’s Machine Vision Enabled Passenger Analytics Solution will be used to help minimise passenger wait times, inform constructive conversations with airport service providers and optimise asset utilisation. It is envisaged that in due course the technology can be used in informing future investment decisions and increasing non-aeronautical revenues.
Selecting CrowdVision for its product excellence and flexibility, Strategy and Development Director for Ports of Jersey, Alan Merry, says “The CrowdVision technology provides our business with live measurable data on passenger flows, processing and queuing times, which improves our understanding of what our passengers are really experiencing when they travel through Jersey Airport. This new information enables us to work with our airline and business partners to make more informed decisions on layout, equipment and resources to enhance the customer experience”.
The CrowdVision solution is a software solution, dependent only on commercially-available hardware (cameras, computers). The software utilises machine vision and sophisticated artificial intelligence techniques to anonymously detect and analyse passenger dynamics in real time. Data can be analysed via CrowdVision dashboards or transferred to customer data storage, to be used in conjunction with other airport data sources, therefore aligning with the vision of many of CrowdVision’s customers.
CrowdVision will provide Ports of Jersey with advanced analytics on the whole passenger population, metre by metre and second by second, delivering live metrics on crowding, queueing and, crucially, asset utilisation in the check-in and security areas, enabling rapid and effective interventions. The data will also deliver value over time in assisting with forecasting, planning, rostering, layout and process improvement as well as capital investment optimisation.
The CrowdVision software is easily reconfigurable as Jersey Airport develops, providing a fully scalable solution, from individual checkpoints through to whole airport solutions. Jersey Airport is served by more than 45 departure points across the British Isles and mainland Europe, welcoming almost 1.6 m air passengers every year.
Fiona Strens, CrowdVision CEO said “We are delighted to add Jersey Airport to our growing portfolio of Smart Airport clients. CrowdVision is already the dominant supplier of passenger analytics to the London airports, measuring 100 million passenger journeys through London’s check-in, security, lounge, immigration, transfers and transit locations each year. We’re now excited to be in a position to extend passenger journey measurement across full journeys between Jersey and London – and beyond.”
