Safety, security, efficiency and reliability are paramount for any airport. Ensuring that ground support equipment is operated correctly and in a responsible manner is vital, supporting initiatives to reduce aircraft damage. Only with video telematics can ground handlers gain the necessary view of assets in real-time and historically to maximise performance and utilisation.
Airports, both in the UK and internationally, are looking to enhance the passenger customer experience while handling significant traffic growth, so are looking for innovative ways to achieve airside efficiency and asset utilisation. Ground handlers are operating diverse fleets including trucks, vans, buses, tugs, ground power units, air start units, belt loaders, passenger boarding stairs and lavatory service vehicles. Vehicles and equipment are constantly on the move, creating considerable hazards for airport staff and passengers.
Video telematics provides the visibility and control needed to mitigate fleet risk. This means ground handlers can operate to tight schedules in a high-pressured environment and reduce aircraft turnaround times, while keeping people safe.
