Blue Systems Launches First-in-its-kind Airport Mobility Data Platform for Effective Data-Driven Operations  

Los Angeles, CA – August 19, 2024 – Blue Systems, a leading global provider of mobility and curb data solutions for cities and transportation authorities, proudly announces the launch of its cutting-edge Airport Mobility Data Platform. This innovative cloud-based Platform is the first of its kind, designed to seamlessly integrate and manage all moving and stationary elements on the airport grounds, empowering airport authorities to optimize shared mobility services (taxis, TNCs) and curb management through actionable, data driven insights.   

The Airport Mobility Data Platform leverages the industry-leading Mobility Data Specification (MDS) standard, which Blue Systems has been spearheading since 2019. Developed in partnership with LADOT, the Platform connects and visualizes taxi trips and fleets using the MDS 2.0, showcasing the latest version of this advanced standard in practice. MDS 2.0, developed by the Open Mobility Foundation (the OMF) specifically for the shared mobility passenger services, is showcased in Blue Systems’ Platform as a testament to its usefulness and versatility.   

Unprecedented Insights for Data-Driven Decision-Making 

Blue Systems’ new Airport Mobility Data Platform marks a significant industry milestone. It’s the first mobility data platform built specifically to connect and visualize data from taxis and TNCs operating at airports. With this state-of-the-art tool, airport and transportation authorities can harness data analytics to drive informed policy-making and operational efficiency.  

    Mobility Metrics: The Platform ingests data from taxi companies and TNCs, providing a unified dashboard that displays KPIs such as the number of trips to/from airport daily or monthly, the areas of your city being served or underserved by taxis going to the airport, the number of vehicles on airport grounds at any given time and historically, the number of trips per vehicle, service heatmaps, and many other related data points in real time and historically. 

   Curb Metrics: Leveraging both MDS and Curb Data Specification (CDS) standards, the Platform enables airport authorities to digitize their curb spaces, monitor the use of the curb by all commercial vehicles and enact specific, data-driven curb usage rules for each airport.   

Transformative Benefits for Airports 

This comprehensive Platform empowers airports and transportation authorities to optimize their operations, improve efficiency and allocate needed resources for taxi and ride-hailing services. It also improves passenger experience with reduced wait times while on airport grounds and streamlined passenger pickup and drop off processes. Finally, it enables airport authorities to enact data-driven rules and policies to improve airport accessibility and usability for all stakeholders alike – passengers, taxi companies, ride-hailing services, etc.
