PITM is a web-hosted integrated business intelligence platform that targets key constraints through the entire lifecycle of the flight, in order to optimize fuel costs and other financial metrics, carbon emissions, schedule integrity, and the passenger experience. PITM is built on multiple unique, patented, and patent-pending PASSUR capabilities, including a proprietary network of radar surveillance systems installed throughout North America and internationally, integrated aviation databases with extensive historical archives, predictive analytical algorithms, and user-friendly decision support software.
ADS-B is a cornerstone technology of NextGen, the FAA's plan for a complete modernization of the air traffic control system. ADS-B in PASSUR supplements an extensive, existing array of surveillance technologies processed and integrated on the PASSUR suite of solutions, which are "fused" to provide a seamless flight and airspace visualization capability based on PASSUR's independent surveillance network.
