Products & Services

CAST provides a unique simulation, allocation, prediction and optimization environment covering terminal, airside, ground handling and all corresponding resources and processes. Simulation based analysis allows to develop and test concepts with a digital twin of the airport and thus reduces the risks of a trial-and-error approach for passengers and staff in the real airport environment.

SOLUTIONS powered by CAST allow to control and optimize terminal resources and processes, considering specific customer requirements and the individual situation at an airport. The services include the requirement analysis, technical integration as well as basic data evaluation and system calibration. Based on AI, machine learning and other advanced technologies, SOLUTIONS powered by CAST allow to optimize passenger flows, resources and processes, leading to higher passenger satisfaction and reduced costs. In the following, you see a selection of ARC's product portfolio:

CAST Aircraft

CAST Aircraft simulates the aircraft traffic at and around the airport, including approach, runway, taxiway, apron and stands. The software is a reliable decision support tool for:

• Runway, taxiway and apron capacity analysis
• Demand-driven infrastructure development and expansion planning
• Optimisation of resource utilisation and delay reduction
• Performance-driven process optimisation like Airport Collaborative Decision Making, de-icing strategies, operational concepts, new technology

CAST Aircraft simulates the aircraft traffic at an airport (approach, runway, taxiways and stands)

Dynamic traffic flow management according to rules and restrictions

Accurate calculation of capacities, delays, taxi times and other relevant KPI

CAST Stand Allocation

CAST Stand & Gate Allocation is the most powerful support tool for quick and cost-efficient resource allocation. It supports airports, airlines and consulting companies in long-, medium- and short-term stand planning tasks like:

• What is the stand demand and buffer for a given schedule?
• What is the best stand allocation strategy?
• Will the stand concept meet the airlines‘ preferences?
• How to adapt the stand configuration to meet the future fleet mix?

Intuitive CAST Stand Allocation model set-up and configuration via geometric airfield layout.

Powerful visualization of allocation charts and quick and easy setup of scenarios

Comprehensive KPI analysis with integrated dashboards.

CAST Terminal

CAST Terminal provides a realistic and flexible simulation of processes and passenger movements in an airport terminal including check in, security, passport control, retail, gate holdroom, baggage reclaim, customs etc.

It offers:
• Scenario-based capacity analysis of terminal facilities
• Calculation of resource requirements for long- and short-term
• Level of Service analysis and optimisation of passenger convenience
• Bottleneck identification and test of potential mitigation measures

CAST Terminal provides a clear and understandable representation of all terminal processes

Analysis of various statistical data, e.g. LoS, waiting times, utilization rates, occupation level

Realistic passenger behavior in circulation / waiting areas (crowding and queueing)

Use as reliable testbed for new configurations (‘what-if’ experiments)
