What is Passenger Flow Management?
Passenger Flow Management (PFM) is a set of solutions used to detect, track, and manage overall passenger traffic through airport touchpoints.
Benefits of Passenger Flow Management
Passenger flow management ensures a seamless passenger flow through the entire boarding and arrival process to maximise airport resources, as well as offer a positive passenger journey.
It is critical to understand how people move throughout the airport in terms of evaluating the current capacity and forecasting the possible negative effects of delays or disruptions. Passenger flow management system is highly beneficial for airport employees to see where travellers move and spend most of their time before their flights. Passenger flow management system also offers a better understanding of passenger behaviour for each flight.
TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform
TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform uses queue management technology to reduce waiting times at airports, optimise passenger experience, and increase airports revenues.
The platform covers every step of the passenger journey within the airport. These steps include:
- Entrance, security checkpoints and customs
- Check-in counters
- Bag drop and reclaim areas
- Retail ares, food and beverage areas and lounges
- Possible wet areas (toilets, baby care rooms)
- Taxi and bus stations
How TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform works
The Passenger Flow Management Platform platform follows the passenger touchpoints through smart cameras and passenger flow is controlled regularly to detect unexpected cases. Airport users can access TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform’s responsive architecture anywhere at any time on their IOS and Android devices.
The platform follows below passenger flow metrics continuously
- Passenger count
- Queue length
- Passenger wait times and predictions
- Passenger processing time and volume
- Counter allocations
The platform sends automatic notifications every time the predefined KPI threshold is exceeded to control each step of the passenger journey. These notifications are sent to the relevant airport employees directly through the platform alert system and integrated Teams channel.
Benefits of TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform
Eliminating the complexity of passenger flow in the airport is possible with the TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform. Effective passenger flow management means better passenger experience, more leisure time spent in the airport, advertising in the most crowded areas, making staff & asset utilisation predictable, and an increase in revenues.
1. Passenger Satisfaction
Passenger Flow Management Platform reduces wait time, hereby increases passenger satisfaction through providing ease and more leisure time.
2. Improved Queue Performance
TAV Technologies Passenger Flow Management Platform guarantees improved queue performance with reliable real-time people counts, dwell, and wait time analytics.
3. Aligned with Health Precautions
Aligned with Health Precautions, the platform controls the social distance between passengers through cameras and regularly measures the air quality. It follows social distancing rules and shows passenger density with heat map technology. It supports taking the necessary Covid-19 measures and early intervention in the points where the measures are insufficient.
4. Increased Advertising Revenues
Passenger Flow Management Platform shows the busiest spots for ad displays.

Frequently asked questions
Q1. What types of data can be collected with a Passenger Flow Management System?
A Passenger Flow Management System can collect a wide range of data, including passenger flow rates, wait times, queue lengths, and passenger demographics.
Q2. What are the key features of a Passenger Flow Management Platform?
The key features of a Passenger Flow Management Platform include real-time monitoring of passenger movement, predictive analytics for forecasting passenger traffic, and integration with other airport systems to provide a comprehensive view of airport operations. These systems also typically include tools for managing passenger queues and providing real-time information to passengers.
Q3. How does a Passenger Flow Management System improve airport security?
A Passenger Flow Management System can be used to identify and track suspicious behaviour, such as loitering or unauthorised access to restricted areas. This allows security personnel to respond quickly and effectively to potential threats.
