Continental to Use Sensis Aerobahn Service at Newark

Continental Airlines will use Sensis Corporation's Aerobahn service at Newark to help its ground operations staff manage surface traffic flows, particularly during periods of abnormal delay.  Newark is Continental's second largest hub after Houston where it already uses Aerobahn.

Sensis Corporation's Web-based Aerobahn collects a variety of data in real time, including surveillance data from Sensis MDS (multistatic dependent system) and transforms it into useful operational information.

Besides being used by its hub ramp controllers the Aerobahn will be available at Continental's operations center in Houston to enable its system-wide managers to make more informed decisions as well.

Continental will use three Aerobahn applications at Newark, including TaxiView, OpsView, and QuickView:

• TaxiView displays ramp activity such as push-backs in real time.

• OpsView is a post-flight analysis tool that graphically shows operational trends and correlates the visual picture with comprehensive data available in reports and queries, which can be automatically distributed to appropriate persons.

• QuickView provides a real-time summary of the status of arrival and departure aircraft, and can visually alert managers when aircraft meet or exceed the pre-configured thresholds.
