Introduction
Today’s airport visitors can experience most
of the conveniences, services and comforts
that any city offers within the boundaries of a
single major metropolitan airport.
To continue offering this level of service
requires a degree of sophisticated,
synchronized orchestration at each point in
our passenger journey.
Digital Solutions offer airports
and airlines an opportunity to
improve the way they serve
travellers — all while improving
economic and environmental
sustainability far beyond the
airport’s boundaries.

Making Airline Travel More Pleasant and Sustainable
Combining artificial intelligence (AI) with
video analytics and 3D LiDAR , Hitachi
Smart Spaces and Lumada Video Insights
streamline the otherwise unreliable
process of boarding and stowing
baggage by monitoring the number, size
and volume of passenger baggage.
During the boarding process, the
system predicts when the overhead
storage will be full, then notifies the
airline staff so they can divert all
additional luggage to the main cargo
hold, below the wing of the aircraft.

Benefits Beyond the Tarmac
The elimination of boarding delays helps
airlines and airports maximize one of their
most important goals – on time
performance, providing travelers with a less
stressful boarding experience.
Sustainability is enhanced with the elimination of
many flight delays; Less fuel is wasted by aircraft
waiting on the ground for their gate or circling in
the air waiting to land, helping the environment
and reducing airlines’ operational costs.

Smart Technology to Boost Performance and Sustainability
Lumada Video Insights is helping
streamline airport operations around the
world by reducing wait times in lines for
baggage claims, ticket sales, retail shops
and more.
Hitachi 3D Lidar Sensors are used to
monitor and predict passenger volumes
at pick-up and drop-off areas, for
ridesharing and other forms of inter-
airport transportation to reduce traffic
jams and fuel consumption.
