When Will iinside Give Us Intelligent Airports?

When Will iinside Give Us Intelligent Airports?

Author: Francis Tapon February 1, 2019 Duration: 24:28

iinside is obsessed about the last kilometer at the airport. 


You may use Google Maps, Maps.me, or some other mapping system to figure out how much congestion there is on your way to the airport. 


However, the automobile traffic congestion may not correlate with the congestion inside the airport.


Wouldn't it be nice to know what's going on inside the airport? How long are security checkpoint lines? When will my luggage arrive?


iinside aims to answer those questions.


Sam Kamen is the Chief Operating Officer of iinside, a company that is working to make airports smart.


There are 524 major airports in the United States. The top 30 airports account to 75-80% of all passengers. 


They use lidar technology to track humans and bags to measure congestion within the airport. In 2019, iinside is working with these 4 USA airports:


  1. Orlando

  2. Phoenix

  3. Denver

  4. Austin

There's a certain kind of travel that changes you, not just your location. It’s the slow, immersive kind where the journey itself becomes the teacher. In WanderLearn: Travel to Transform Your Mind & Life, Francis Tapon acts as your guide into this world, exploring how leaving familiar ground can fundamentally reshape your perspective. This isn't about quick tips or itineraries; it's about the deeper conversations that happen at the crossroads of culture, society, and personal growth. Each episode delves into how we engage with places and people, often weaving in discussions about the role of modern technology in both enabling and complicating these profound experiences. You'll hear stories and insights that challenge the conventional tourist mindset, pushing toward a more thoughtful, engaged way of moving through the world. Francis draws from a wealth of experience to discuss concepts like vagabonding and deep travel, making the case that the greatest souvenirs aren't trinkets, but transformed thoughts. Tuning into this podcast feels like sitting down with a well-traveled friend who understands that the real destination is often a shift within yourself. It’s for anyone who believes that travel, at its best, is a powerful catalyst for learning and living differently.
