Vancouver International Airport (YVR) has deployed technology from Quanergy Solutions, a provider of 3D LiDAR, to analyze passenger traffic and deliver data to enhance operational efficiency.
Prior to Quanergy’s deployment, YVR had previously employed a number of camera-based and 3D stereoscopic sensor solutions to provide queue analysis and people-counting in several areas around the airport. However, according to a recent press release, the airport struggled to gather accurate data due to systems limitations.
“Through the implementation of Quanergy’s solutions, we have harnessed the power of real-time insights, gaining a deep understanding of passenger volumes and the associated wait times at different stages of their journey through the terminal,” said Jason Williams, manager, innovation & technology group, YVR, in a statement. “With this high-precision data at our disposal, we can trigger real-time alerts whenever we approach or exceed predefined thresholds. This invaluable capability enables us to collaborate seamlessly with our stakeholders, ensuring that our travelers experience a smooth and stress-free journey through our airport.”
YVR currently uses these insights to meet a number of operational and business imperatives such as reducing check-in time and time spent passing through security. Quanergy was able to reduce deployment costs, with one of its 3D LiDAR sensors providing the coverage of up to five stereoscopic cameras, according to the company.
