A Technology Shift for the Transportation Market

The transportation market — like many industries — is undergoing a paradigm shift, propelled by groundbreaking technologies that once only fortified security but are now delivering cross-organizational impact to operations, compliance, and more.

For instance, AI-driven video analytics has long enabled post-event search and investigation. A child goes missing? Law enforcement needs to understand the movement of a person of interest? Video analytics accelerates investigations when time is off the essence.

Video Analytics for the Transportation Market

Now, video analytics has evolved and become more comprehensive to also enable proactive and preventative measures. For instance, airports suffer high fines when people linger in restricted areas. By setting customized rules that alert operators when a person crosses a pre-determined line, airports can achieve greater compliance – and significant savings. Proactive alerts can also be implemented for instances of baggage-left-behind, notifying operators when luggage has remained static past a specified threshold. Video analytics can also perform pattern analysis to provide trend insight into passenger and cargo movements or que formation at check-in kiosks. The resulting business intelligence drives strategic decisions for the betterment of the entire organization.

Technology for Increased Customer Satisfaction

Recently, there has also been a lot of buzz about the implementation of biometric technology to streamline passenger verification processes. Whether you choose to opt in or out of identification verification technologies during your travels, these solutions provide more options for managing traffic flow throughout major travel hubs, like airports, ultimately increasing passenger satisfaction. It’s exciting to see how new technologies are paving the way for a more secure, resilient, and streamlined future.
