The SPEA SMART Flight Information Display System (SMART FIDS) is a cost-effective and flexible state-of-the-art system provides real-time updates on flight schedules and airport operations to passengers/public and airport staff. FIDS also provide airport, directional, evacuation Airport website information.

• Provide flight, Airport and directional information to passengers and the public.
• Provide tailored information to Airport staff, airlines, customs and anyone else.
• Provide information for Airport evacuation in case of an emergency or security alert.
• Provide flight information to Internet users on the Airport website.
  

• Enhances the Airport experience for passengers and the public.
• Improved coordination and efficiency from the accessibility of fast reliable information.
• Existing Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and TV monitors can easily be connected into the system.
• User-friendly and minimum training required

The SPEA SMART Flight Information Display System (SMART FIDS) is a cost-effective and flexible state-of-the-art system that displays any kind of information on monitors and other display devices. Using the latest Information Technologies the SMART FIDS is able to display virtually any content, in any form, including text, audio, video, images, animations and movies. The system is easily configurable, runs automatically and presents up-to-date, accurate information on the status of flights, boarding times and gate/baggage belt assignments to passengers/public at check-in desks, gates, baggage carousels and any other location as needed.

The SMART FIDS displays the following flight information that could also be entered manually:

• Flight Schedule Information.
• Block On/Off Times (aircraft arrives in blocks/pushing back from block).
• Passenger and Freight Information.
• Check-In Desk opening/closing times.
• Departure Gate opening/closing times.

Displaying real-time information to the Airport staff at distributed locations is a critical component of the SMART FIDS. The SMART FIDS plays a key role in Airport safety to provide directional information in case of an emergency or security alert. It also provides information to anyone else with a direct interest and can be used to display information on the Airport website.

The SMART FIDS allows information to be displayed via any LAN/ WAN network. Information from the Airport Operational Database System (SMART AODB) is used to independently update all monitors in real-time when the information is updated in database. By installing the Fault Tolerance Option System (SMART FTOS) the SMART FIDS can be configured with automated load-sharing and redundancy on multiple servers to provide built-in reliability. Each display device is continuously monitored and the proper functioning of each peripheral controller is verified from authorized workstations.

• Advanced display technology to display logos, flight numbers, multi-sector Airports and multi-lingual remarks.
• Remote monitor/reboot display devices.
• Remote support for updates and customization.
• Extendable and components can be added easily.
• Reliable scalable with load sharing and redundancy options.
• Strong compliance to International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards and other standards within industry.
• Automated features and internal timing mechanisms ensure the timely distribution/clearing of information.
• Full seamless integration with all SMART Airport Systems.
• Authorized users can query the SMART FIDS to obtain information.
• Supports concurrent users and is accessible from any authorized workstation.
• User-friendly and highly configurable Windows browser based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
