AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Often, these coordination methods and the information they generate are not sufficiently transparent to stakeholders and, therefore, are not optimized to utilize resources and reduce congestion
Slots may also be blocked and may remain underutilized due to inefficient mechanisms used to broadcast and verify slot availability

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In general, the systems and methods of the present disclosure utilize shared database technology (eg, "blockchain" technology) to record information, such as information related to the management of airport slots. As will be discussed in more detail below, a shared database network record comprising network manageable information of various computer systems. The network's computer systems may belong to parties such as governmental organizations, industry organizations, airports, airlines, and other buyers, sellers, or other parties interested in tracking and monitoring the availability of seats at airports.

[0020] An airport slot allocated to a particular carrier (eg, an airline) means that carrier is entitled to use the runway capacity of a particular airport at a particular time on a particular date. At certain times, the supply of slots may be limited, so judicious allocation may be required to ensure carriers deploy their capacity in an efficient manner. Some air...

Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for automatically allocating airside slots using shared ledger databases. Techniques are provided for managing airport slot reservations using a shared database network. A computing device receives information of one or more open airport slots. The availability of the open airport slots is validated through the shared database network and is stored in ashared ledger of the shared database network. The open airport slots are published to one or more carriers to initiate electronic transactions of the open airport slots. The computing device receivesone or more bid transactions from the air carriers for the open airport slots. Each bid transaction has associated bid information. The bid transactions are validated using predefined validation rules, and they are allotted to corresponding open airport slots based on the predefined validation rules and the bid information. The bid transactions allocated to the corresponding open airport slots are published to the shared ledger.

Description

technical field [0001] Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to using shared ledger databases and other blockchain technologies to record information, and more specifically, to using shared ledger databases and other blockchain technologies to record usage of airside or airport slots Systems and methods for distributing related information. Background technique [0002] The aviation industry is increasingly facing capacity challenges in certain jurisdictions that are hotspots for air travel due to the maturity of their transport industries. Most capacity challenges arise at airports (eg, capacity challenges at terminals, gates, or runways) or on flight paths (eg, congested or unpredictable flight paths). Airport owners usually assign airlines the right to use airport facilities. For example, airport owners grant slot rights to airlines to allow airlines to schedule landings or departures during specific time periods. In one example, an airport own...
