Passenger Tracking and Boarding Pass Validation
SmartPass validates boarding passes and tracks passengers throughout their airport departure routine to provide airports and airlines with passenger flow information, allowing them to identify queuing areas and security wait times. Security screening is improved by validating boarding passes quickly and efficiently, and airlines can use information about the last known location of their passengers and the current security wait times to make informed departure decisions. Gathered information can also be used for market research purposes, allowing airports to maximize retail and marketing revenue.
