New Technology Aims to Improve Passenger Journey
The Federal Aviation Administration has introduced a new AI system, called Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories, or SMART, to predict and reduce flight delays. The system uses predictive technology to help aviation officials anticipate congestion, weather-related disruptions, and other pressure points across the U.S. airspace system. The goal is to provide a more predictable journey for passengers, with fewer disruptions and delays. The system is initially being used in the Washington, D.C. region, with plans to expand to other parts of the United States. This development was first reported by AirGuide Business.
