Indoor motion analytics specialist iinside, in collaboration with Infax, has deployed its LiDAR-based iQueue analytics service at Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport.

Jackson Municipal Airport Authority interim CEO Perry Miller said: “Providing travellers with TSA security line updates is important to building a better passenger experience.
“Travellers will now have up-to-the-minute security wait times made available through the airport’s website and on digital signage throughout the airport. It is by investing in these types of passenger enhancements that Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport has become the airport of choice for travellers.”
iinside motion analytics platform Quanergy LiDAR uses non-visible laser beams to illuminate a space and accurately map moving objects.
The platform also uses machine learning to interpret LiDAR data and provide the airport with intelligence about passenger behaviour, several operational metrics, and forecast TSA wait-times in real-time.

By GlobalDataiinside said that the new technology is more precise compared to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi-based options.
The technology is also said to be much better than stereoscopic cameras at protecting the identity of travellers.
