Queue Hub Impact
Queue Hub is an innovative passenger and traffic flow management solution that leverages AI and ML data analytics
Washington Ronald Reagan (DCA) and Dulles International (IAD) airports have experienced historical growth over the past years. This growth, in addition, to planned airport expansions have resulted in a change of traffic and passenger flow patterns, resulting numerous challenges around traffic and flow management such as:
- Vehicle congestion and parking issues at both airports
- Parking Lot Overflow Management increased frequency
