Seattle airport deploys new passenger flow platform

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has launched a new passenger flow solution to improve visibility in the terminal.

The Xovis system is designed to measure passenger movement and support operational decision-making in areas where physical constraints make standard sensor placement difficult. According to Xovis, the project uses a tailored installation approach to maintain accurate flow measurement despite infrastructure limitations.

The platform was launched in the summer to help cope with increased travel demand from the World Cup.

SEA Airport Terminal Operations Manager Tristan Campbell said: “This project allows us to extend visibility into a challenging area of the terminal and better support travellers during major events like the World Cup and beyond.”

The deployment gives airport teams additional data on passenger movement, helping them monitor congestion and understand how travellers move through constrained parts of the terminal during periods of elevated demand.
