Rome, Italy | 22-24 June 2022
ARC`s Ulli Stiller (3rd from left) is representing ARC at the ACI Europe Annual Congress in Rome. The theme of 2022 is “Turning the corner – shaping our new normal” and will focus on the strategies and challenges of regaining impetus and investment as we move forwards through our recovery – and beyond. It is a pleasure for the ARC team to support this with knowledge, experience, and CAST Software & Solutions.

28 Mar

Paris, France | 15-17 June 2022
Join us at booth Z3.6178 to talk about the latest trends in aviation and airport planning and operations: Digital Transformation, Real-Time Flow Management, Better Passenger Experience as well as Cost Optimization for Operations and Infrastructure Planning.

Result Presentation of Research Project | 20 June 2022
ARC and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences with Zurich Airport as an industrial partner just completed the mFund project ‚A-Boost – Next Generation Allocation‘. The goal of the project was to apply machine learning, optimization, and simulation techniques to improve the CAST Software for resource allocation at an airport to better deal with operational uncertainties.

Dubai, UAE | 17-19 May 2022
Meet with us at the German Pavillon to discover the 'digital twin' concept with CAST providing airports better infrastructure and capacity planning, allocation and real time process optimization. Integrating data from different sources, predicting and analyzing aircraft and passenger flows and making the results available in visually attractive way is a key step in modern optimization of airport processes. Does your airport have a digital twin yet?

28 Nov

Munich, Germany | 10-11 November 2021
We are pleased to announce ARC's presentation at the inter airport europe 2021 about "Solutions powered by CAST - Simulation-based real time demand prediction for better airport resource planning". As a part of digital transformation the precise CAST prediction technology supports resource planning and proactive, agile management in order to reduce costs and waiting times. Look forward to various success stories from previous implementations.

18 Nov 2021 - Save the Date!
After another challenging year, we are eager to see our CAST users again! Unfortunately, travel restrictions still make it difficult to meet in person. Thus, we are planning this year's CAST User Conference as webmeeting on 18th Nov 2021. Save the date in your calender now! You can look forward to interesting new CAST features, extensions and case studies, giving you ideas how to improve your simulation studies. Registration will open shortly.

23 Apr

Dubai, 24-26 May 2021
This 3-day event will be the perfect opportunity for airport and aviation professionals and tech leaders to address their needs and exchange knowledge whilst forging partnerships, all to help each other bounce back from the crisis and succeed in today's newly disrupted and competitive world. You can also join online via an enhanced platform for digital content. Schedule your online meeting with us now!

Research project to optimize aircraft stand allocation with artificial intelligence
Airport Research Center GmbH and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences cooperate as research partners in this project to take aircraft stand allocation to a new level. This is made possible by by applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) based data analysis methods to predict the expected schedule variance and anticipate this in stand planning. The project is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure via mFUND.

Hong Kong International Airport implements CAST Solutions
Together with ARC, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) is implementing a CAST based solution to predict the capacity situation on the day of operation and to be able to carry out strategic and tactical planning of the airport processes. Furthermore, the system allows all stakeholders a common view on the planned capacity situation and expected demand at all terminal processes.

Simulation of operational concept and capacity assessment with CAST
In a global effort to overcome the COVID crisis, many authorities around the world are currently setting up vaccination centers. ARC has therefore developed a CAST simulation model to represent all processes of such a vaccination center in a realistic 3D environment. By analyzing various scenarios and stress tests, the planned configuration of the vaccination center can be verified and optimized to avoid potential bottlenecks.

CAST is selected as simulation environment for the IMHOTEP project
The goal of the EU funded IMHOTEP project is to develop a concept of operations and a set of data analysis methods and tools that allow information sharing, common situational awareness and real-time collaborative decision-making between airports and ground transport stakeholders.

New Video on the CAST Simulation of COVID testing at an airport
COVID-19 Testing prior to flight departures receives more and more attention. Recently, there have been several initiatives from airports and airlines to conduct COVID testing prior to flight departures. The process of testing at the point of departure is still difficult to manage on a larger scale due to the time and cost associated with evaluating reliable tests.
