FlightAware Announces New Taxi-Out Duration Prediction Increasing Operational Accuracy
HOUSTON - May 16, 2022 - FlightAware, a leading digital aviation company providing global flight tracking solutions, predictive technology, analytics and decision-making tools, announced a new solution to address the aviation industry's reliance on inaccurate predicted taxi times. Aircraft taxi times are typically not well-modeled, and a generic estimate, using historical data is widely used. Taxi-Out Duration estimates, delivered through FlightAware Foresight„¢, now automatically predict airport taxi times based on quantifiable real-time factors using machine learning models thereby improving operational efficiency and increasing sustainability.
Foresight Taxi-Out Duration predictions begin hours before aircraft departure, and account for real-time variables like airport stand or gate position, transponders powered up and online, anticipated schedules, and recent arrival and departure rates.
