Abstract

A system and method for facilitating collaborative decision making at an airport. The system and method receive data relating to an airport from a plurality of data feed arrangements, aggregate the data, format the aggregated data for display to users and transmit the formatted aggregated data to the users for display.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving data relating to an airport from a plurality of data feed arrangements;

aggregating the data;

formatting the aggregated data for display to users; and

transmitting the formatted aggregated data to the users for display.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a message from one from one of the users; and

formatting the message to be displayed with the aggregated data.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the message is a plurality of messages from a plurality of users, wherein the plurality of messages are formatted to be displayed with the aggregated data.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the formatted aggregated data is formatted for display a common format for all users.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein at least two of the plurality of data feed arrangements are under the control of different entities, wherein these different entities are also different from an entity that operates the airport.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the formatted aggregated data is one of displayed as text data, icon data and color-coded data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data is one of news related to the airport, passenger metric data, airport operational statistics, airport performance data and airport status data.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a request from one of the users for additional information related to the formatted aggregated data; and

transmitting additional data to the one of the users related to at least a portion of the formatted aggregated data.

9. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a set of instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the processor to;

receive data relating to an airport from a plurality of data feed arrangements;

aggregate the data;

format the aggregated data for display to users; and

transmit the formatted aggregated data to the users for display.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

receive a message from one from one of the users; and

format the message to be displayed with the aggregated data.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the message is a plurality of messages from a plurality of users, wherein the plurality of messages are formatted to be displayed with the aggregated data.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the formatted aggregated data is formatted for display a common format for all users.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein at least two of the plurality of data feed arrangements are under the control of different entities, wherein these different entities are also different from an entity that operates the airport.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the formatted aggregated data is one of displayed as text data, icon data and color-coded data.

15. The system of claim 9, wherein the data is one of news related to the airport, passenger metric data, airport operational statistics, airport performance data and airport status data.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

receive a request from one of the users for additional information related to the formatted aggregated data; and

transmit additional data to the one of the users related to at least a portion of the formatted aggregated data.

17. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a set of instructions executable by a processor, wherein the instructions cause the processor to:

receive data relating to an airport from a plurality of data feed arrangements;

aggregate the data;

format the aggregated data for display to users; and

transmit the formatted aggregated data to the users for display.
