Smart Queue: Digitising the Passenger Flow 🚀

Transforming queues from a necessary evil, to a logistically optimised process!

In many years of working with airports, Via Guide has realised that queuing needs to be treated as a process in order to proactively manage passenger flow. Over the past few years, Via Guide has developed the SMART QUEUE concept with two of Europe´s leading airports. This concept helps airports achieve their efficiency goals by reducing the need for staff intervention and increasing throughput. It also improves the passenger experience.

 

The Smart Gate is a revolving gate that consists of one or more polycarbonate plates that rotate round a Beltrac post. The positions for the gate can be programmed anywhere within 360° of a circle, so that passengers are guided in the right directions.

The available space is used more efficiently, and unnecessary walking is avoided, resulting in a better passenger experience. Simulations indicate a reduction in idle time for resources.
