This session will focus on the use of technologies to help airports managers address security issues related to curbside management of transportation taxis, limousines and buses. Additionally, panelists will address management of vehicle accidents on airport property, management of pedestrian flow, park and wait lots, and other security challenges.

Speakers for this session will include representatives from Delcan, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Telegra.

“Applying Intelligent Transportation Systems to Improve Airport Traveler Access Information”

Marshall Elizer, P.E., PTOE, Transportation Services Manager, Gresham, Smith and Partners

Presentation of recent projects of the Airport Cooperative Research Program. Mr. Elizer will present an overview of the Airport Cooperation Research Program (ACRP) and a number of its completed and in-progress projects that address the application of ITS and information technology applications in the airport environment. Mr. Elizer is also Principal Investigator for ACRP Project 10-08, Applying Intelligent Transportation Systems to Improve Airport Traveler Access Information, and will provide an overview of this current project that involves U.S. and international airports and will provide a guidebook for developing airport traveler information systems using ITS technology.

Passenger parking is the largest source of revenue for most airports and proper management is of increasing importance. The session will focus on ITS products and services and how they relate to “Parking Guidance Systems,” “Parking Reservation Systems,” and “Vehicle Locator Systems.” Intelligent Transportation System technologies are now being used in some locations to take the guess work out of finding open parking lots and spaces, pick up points and drop off points for specific airlines. Discover some of the leading edge technology implementations that are working at airports today.

Speakers for this session will include representatives from Standard parking, ParkingCarma and Intelligent Devices

ITS standards define an architecture of interrelated systems that work together to deliver advanced transportation technology and services across different agencies, modes and users. Most standards are voluntary, consensus-based, and open, meaning that their use is not mandated by law,  they are consensus-based (meaning that a published standard has attained general agreement through cooperation and compromise in a process that is inclusive of all interested parties), and they are not proprietary and are available for anyone to use. The use of standards for airport ITS encourages growth of these services by minimizing development costs, increasing compatibility and interoperability, and increasing buyer and seller confidence in products. A standards-based approach to airport ITS integration helps to facilitate the exchange of transportation data as well as more easily accommodate future equipment replacements, systems upgrades, and system expansions. This session will explore standards available to ITS applications in the airport environment and how they are being used in airport ITS systems development today.

Speakers for this session will include representatives from Daktronics, ITS America, TransCore and Gresham Smith & Partners.

This exciting round table discussion will feature key airport executives discussing topics from the previous day as well as other important issues facing them and their thoughts about how technology has or might help them address these issues.

Speakers for this session will include representatives from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Salt lake City International Airport.
