How to Build a Smarter Airport Terminal
Catching a flight on time shouldn’t have to be a frustrating crapshoot. Engineers and architects are using new design technologies to
envision better ways to get passengers through an airport terminal, and building new terminals like JetBlue’s T5 at New York’s
JFK airport to show what the next generation of airports will look like.

Erin Morrow's MassMotion Simulates Crowds
Over the past decade, Erin Morrow has become an expert on the movements of the masses. He’s a transportation planning consultant and focuses on helping architects understand how crowds will flow through the airports, hotels, and skyscrapers they dream up. Morrow predicts how many people will line up at Starbucks during commuter hours and determines where to place an escalator to minimize bottlenecks. Morrow ’s analytical weapon is a software package he created called MassMotion. Read the full article here.

Visualising the future before it is built
"When it comes to crowded public spaces, such as airports, it is vital to take the flow of movement in the building into consideration when designing the area. This is where Arup has developed the MassMotion technology to predict the movement of occupants in different buildings and on roads. The modelling programme's each character has its own artificial intelligence which enables the prediction of possible behaviour of passengers and pedestrians in real life. All characters are unique and make decisions based on their surroundings, as they move from one environment to the other in real time. For instance, the movements of the economy and business class travellers differ greatly and can create previously unforeseeable congestion hazards."
