Haneda Airport introduced the Ramp Bus Allocation System (RBAS) in April.
The system was engineered by Japan Airport Building Co., with development assistance from Tokyo Airport Transportation, All Nippon Airways (ANA), and ANA Airport Services. ANA, Japan Airlines (JAL), Skymark, AIRDO, Solaseed Air, and StarFlyer are cooperating in its operation.
The dispatching of ramp buses takes various factors into account, such as the number of passengers on board the aircraft, flight operations, and wind direction, which had been causing delays during peak times or when operations were disrupted. By sharing this information and utilizing an algorithm for automatic dispatch, the system aims to improve the efficiency of ramp bus operations, reduce waiting times for passengers, and optimize the number of buses and personnel deployed.
The system has standardized service levels by codifying dispatch times and rules for irregular operations that were previously varied by airline. Going forward, the system will analyze operational performance to further enhance convenience, reduce the number and duration of delays, and ensure efficient operation of ramp buses.
