Background Information:

TSAIA requires an aircraft parking management software solution that supports planning and assigning aircraft parking in a collaborative environment where air traffic control, ground handlers, airport staff, and airlines have real‑time access to aircraft parking information. The system must geolocate aircraft on the airfield in real time using electronic aircraft data, providing immediate situational awareness and storing historical data for analysis. The Software must also generate key metrics on aircraft ground movements, including landing and takeoff times, on‑block and off‑block events, and taxi delays to and from parking positions. The software must be approved for use within an FAA Air Traffic Control Tower to enable automated collaboration with the FAA and must integrate with systems currently in use at TSAIA, including Amadeus, Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE‑X) and Airport Surface Surveillance Capability (ASSC).
