Checkpoint

My idea is an airport security application that indicates wait times at terminals. Essentially, it would be similar to Waze in the sense that it would be based on self-reporting and current experience of individuals at the airport. I feel this app would provide stress relief, as it offers the opportunity for travelers to plan their trips and have a better idea of when they would need to arrive at the airport.

I see this broken down by airport, using O'hare Int'l Airport for example:

The user would first select an airport, then a terminal, and a specific checkpoint within that terminal. At this point, the screen would split, offering the user to either select, "report a wait-time," or "view current wait times."

Viewers are sent to a page where they are able to view the most recent wait times as reported by passengers currently at O'hare. This would be chronological; the current or most recently reported wait time at the top in larger print, and the past hour's reported wait times smaller listed below. This would allow the user to see fluctuations in wait time over the past hour as they scroll down). Viewers would also have the option to click on a specific time listed, and view comments the passenger made below. I envision this as a page that the user could refresh and instantly see the most current wait times for their desired airport and terminal, even down to the specific checkpoints.

Additionally, from this screen the user could select an item that states, "typical security wait times for the specific date and time," This feature would indicate the past wait times (as previously reported) for a Tuesday evening at 8:00pm.(for example)

The way in which users would report wait times: Once a passenger passes through security and desires to report a wait time, they would be able to search their current airport, terminal, and checkpoint as well. From the split screen, they would chose to report a wait time. They can then select to report the number of minutes they waited (from a scroll bar above) and write in comments (in a box below). The comments would provide an opportunity for passengers to communicate specifics, such as the amount of TSA employees working at the time, or if there are any apparent reasons for a delay at that checkpoint specifically. The user could then click, "publish," and their wait time would appear as most current for the selected checkpoint.

Users could set up alerts or notifications for specific airports, terminals, or checkpoints that notify them when a major change in wait-time occurs. This way, someone leaving from their home would be able to plan when they need to arrive with more accuracy.

The app would request a user's location to better serve their needs as well. Users would have the option to select their current location for easier recurring use and locating of nearby airports.

There is an application that exists similar to this already. I felt that this app listed an arbitrary number as a wait time that showed no commentary or current updating, and also lacked the ability to locate specific checkpoints within a terminal. I envision this app as something user friendly and exciting to look at with graphics and large print. I believe applications have shown us that people like to report what they know, and comment on what is going on around them. With my Checkpoint app, travelers may feel more in control of their airport experience.
