Seoul – June 26, 2023 –
Enterprise AI service provider People and Technology Co., Ltd. (Co-CEOs Hong Sung-pyo and Lim Jin-soon) announced on the 19th that it is developing an Indoor Navigation Service for Incheon International Airport, utilizing its cutting-edge Real-Time Locating System (RTLS) technology.
This project is part of Incheon International Airport Corporation’s mobile guide app enhancement initiative, aimed at expanding user-centric services. People and Technology is leveraging its advanced positioning technologies to create a stable and precise real-time navigation system.
Key Features of the Indoor Navigation Service
Accurate Floor Recognition:
The service employs dynamic machine learning to adapt to weather-related changes in air pressure, ensuring accurate floor detection even within environments where wireless signals, such as beacon or Wi-Fi signals, are blocked—like elevators. The system achieves a remarkable 99%+ accuracy rate in floor recognition.Customized Route Planning:
Users can input destinations directly or add waypoints via the guide map for seamless navigation. Accessibility features are also integrated, offering obstacle-free routes for individuals with limited mobility or wheelchair users, bypassing stairs or escalators.Flight Integration:
The service provides navigation from check-in counters to boarding gates, linking directly to flight schedules. Real-time congestion alerts at check-in counters or key points are displayed using intuitive icons to indicate congestion levels (e.g., congested, delayed, smooth flow).
Technological Advancements
The service incorporates state-of-the-art positioning technologies, including:
- Dynamic Machine Learning to improve self-learning capabilities for accurate location detection.
- Hybrid Positioning Systems that combine multiple technologies to enhance accuracy and stability.
- Barometric Pressure-based Floor Recognition for reliable navigation across multi-floor environments.
Commitment to Excellence
A company representative stated,
"With advanced positioning technologies like dynamic machine learning and hybrid positioning, this project ensures high accuracy and reliability, providing a superior quality of service to airport visitors."
Proven Expertise
People and Technology has a proven track record of implementing IoT-based smart asset management systems at Incheon Airport. Last year, the company expanded its solutions across the entire Terminal 1, further solidifying its position as a leader in AIoT and digital transformation solutions.
This new navigation service aims to enhance the convenience and efficiency of airport navigation, solidifying Incheon Airport’s position as a global leader in customer-focused innovations.
