Why Big Data? Strategic Business areas of Deployment Optimize resources and enhance operational efficiency Improve Customer Experience Improve existing & Create new revenue streams Manage Airport capacity related investments and maximize use and availability of infrastructure -8-
Objectives Increase Productivity Provide new decision support capabilities (e.g. real time). Produce new services Identify activity patterns and optimize utilization of existing infrastructure Project future demand and make smarter capacity investments. Increase maintenance efficiency from facilities and equipment -9-
Why Big Data? Optimize resources and enhance operational efficiency Improve Customer Experience Improve existing & Create new revenue streams Manage Airport capacity related investments and maximize use and availability of infrastructure Commoditize decision support capabilities to more users. Embrace more data sources (e.g. external sources, Social) Allow for real time decisions Correlate more information for enhanced results (e.g. sales vs flights vs passenger nationalities vs shop locations vs products vs time of day vs ) Eliminate data silos and create a single version of truth. -10-
Why Big Data? Optimize resources and enhance operational efficiency Improve Customer Experience Improve existing & Create new revenue streams Manage Airport capacity related investments and maximize use and availability of infrastructure Personalize Products and Services Know your customers Focus Marketing Initiatives Enhance existing services and identify new ones Improve customer support Identify & Mitigate negative experiences -11-
Why Big Data? Optimize resources and enhance operational efficiency Improve Customer Experience Improve existing & Create new revenue streams Manage Airport capacity related investments and maximize use and availability of infrastructure Develop new services and enhance existing by: Profiling and segmenting customer base Identifying & Recording Trends and buying patterns Fine tuning and personalizing loyalty programs Introduce revenue/yield management in strategic areas. Promote ancillary services. Produce Passenger Traffic heat maps of the Airport terminal to optimize concessionaire placement. -12-
Why Big Data? Optimize resources and enhance operational efficiency Improve Customer Experience Improve existing & Create new revenue streams Manage Airport capacity related investments and maximize use and availability of infrastructure Identifying activity patterns and optimize utilization of existing infrastructure Projecting future demand based on current utilizations but also local, regional & global trends and events (e.g Conferences, sporting events, Market growth, GDP, Travel forecasts and trends, Pandemic & epidemic of infectious diseases, geopolitical developments etc.) Making smarter capacity related investments. Increase maintenance efficiency from facilities and equipment. -13-
Challenges Opportunities Volume of data ever growing: IATA Forecasts that by 2017 total passenger numbers are expected to rise to 3.91 billion - an increase of 930 million passengers over the 2.98 billion carried in 2012. All these Passengers generate a large number of data such as reservation, consumer, financial, geolocation, social information etc. By capturing and processing these data customer trends, preferences, identification, profiling, segmentation is possible. Aircrafts generate 2 terabytes of data per flight from their sensors. -14-
Challenges Opportunities Velocity ever increasing: Real or near real time decision support processing require capturing data sources generating data in high speeds. Sources such as Video Analytics and CCTV data streams require the capturing and processing of fast data streams to identify passenger patterns in real time such as security screening queue management, passenger emergencies, security incidents. Social data have a remarkable generation rate e.g. 277K Tweets, 2.5 million Facebook shares, 72 hours of YouTube video every single minute Machine Data generated by electromechanical equipment (e.g. PBBs, sensors), Building management systems, ( e.g. energy consumptions readings etc.)
-16-
Challenges Opportunities Variety of data increasing: Value of using big data derives from the correlation of different data sources to create a holistic and multidimensional perspective for a given business case. Data need to be consumed at the source as it may become resource expensive because of the ETL processes and input / normalization needed in case of processing within Datamarts or Data warehouses. Data sources may vary from Airline Reservation data, Flight schedules, Duty Free POS, to Video analytics, Social and External Sources data. -17-
Challenges Opportunities Veracity of data is vital: Trusted data are paramount for effective decision making. Big data allow for evaluating the different data streams by crosschecking information provided by diverse sources. -18-
Big data @ Athens International Airport Identify Business Cases Promote Big data Initiative within the organization and consult every Dept. for existing or desired Business cases or decision support activities based on existing or non yet exploited data. Data Sources Identify available data sources either in-house or from a third party (e.g. sub-contractor, commercial data sources etc.). Perform a gap analysis and identify information that are missing or that could be used for future business needs. Under Implementation Car Park Case Retail Case -19-
