Description

iinside is obsessed about the last kilometer at the airport. 


You may use Google Maps, Maps.me, or some other mapping system to figure out how much congestion there is on your way to the airport. 


However, the automobile traffic congestion may not correlate with the congestion inside the airport.


Wouldn't it be nice to know what's going on inside the airport? How long are security checkpoint lines? When will my luggage arrive?


iinside aims to answer those questions.


Sam Kamen is the Chief Operating Officer of iinside, a company that is working to make airports smart.


There are 524 major airports in the United States. The top 30 airports account to 75-80% of all passengers. 


They use lidar technology to track humans and bags to measure congestion within the airport. In 2019, iinside is working with these 4 USA airports:


  1. Orlando

  2. Phoenix

  3. Denver

  4. Austin
