The CAST PAX FLOW PREDICTION AND MANAGEMENT SOLUTION enables fast, predictive analysis and operational control of the various processes in airport terminals.
Integrated into the airport’s operating systems, this solution provides the best possible view on the next hours of operations. Thus, airport operators can use and staff and resources more efficiently than before.
Passenger flows, numbers, and distribution as well as resource and facility requirements for the next minutes and hours are continuously calculated and the results / KPIs are distributed to all relevant stakeholders in an APOC or to operators enabling them to proactively manage resources and optimize passenger flows.
What-If functions allow decision options to be compared and evaluated within a minimum of time. Beyond real-time prediction the PAX FLOW SOLUTION supports pre-operational and tactical terminal capacity planning.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE
1. Every few minutes, the system automatically updates a digital twin of the terminal using live operational data from flight schedules, resource systems, and sensors.
2. Based on this, a predictive simulation calculates how passenger volumes will evolve at key processes such as security, check-in, and border control.
3. The results are shared instantly through intuitive dashboards across all stakeholders – from APOC to on-site operators – creating a common situational awareness.
4. Integrated decision support and what-if tools suggest timely actions like adjusting lane openings, reallocating staff, or shifting process capacities.
5. Based on these insights, airport teams take immediate action, ensuring that operational decisions are executed in real time and bottlenecks are resolved before they arise.
