ACI Wait Times API Specifications

The document outlines standards for expressing passenger wait times at airports. It defines four metrics - occupancy, projected wait time, throughput, and actual wait time. These metrics are collected and updated every five minutes for passengers in queues. The document also specifies an API that allows retrieving passenger queue and wait time data for specific airports, checkpoints, and queues.

Passenger Wait Times

Airports Council International (ACI) has developed a standard for expressing Passenger Wait Times
for the aviation community. The initiative is part of the ACI ACRIS (Aviation Community
Recommended Information Services) working group.

There are four Passenger Queue Wait Time metrics available:

Occupancy: The count of people in the queue. The unit of measure is number of people.
This metric is updated every five minutes.

Projected Wait Time: The estimated time that a person entering the queue can expect to wait.
The unit of measure is seconds. Estimates are updated every five minutes.

Throughput: The average number of passengers processed over the past hour. The unit of
measure is passengers per hour. This metric is updated every five minutes.

Wait Time: The duration that a person exiting the queue has experienced. The unit of
measure is seconds. The amount represents the average number of seconds
experienced by people exiting the queue in the last five minutes. This metric
is updated every five minutes.

This document contains the specification of the API (Application Programming Interface), which has
been developed as part of this initiative.

Wait Times API Specification


The following API specification is compliant with the OpenAPI standard v3.0.1, and with the ACRIS
Semantic Model.

The server URL for the API is https://amer-partner6-prod.apigee.net and the base path is /aci/.

The ACI Wait Times API supports requests for the following information:

Request Purpose

Retrieve information on Passenger Checkpoints at a specific


Checkpoint Facilities
Airport.

Passenger Queues Retrieve information on Passenger Queues at a specific Airport.

Retrieve information on the wait times of Passenger Queues at a

Information on Checkpoint facilities can be obtained, either as a list of checkpoints in the selected
airport, or for a particular checkpoint specified by a UUID, using the following GET requests:

Checkpoint Facilities paths Result

/aci/airports/{Airport ICAO Returns all of the security Checkpoints at the Airport


Code}/checkpoints specified by ICAO Code grouped by Terminal.

/aci/airports/{Airport ICAO Returns a specific Checkpoint identified by Checkpoint


Code}/checkpoints/{Checkpoint UUID} UUID.

Information on Passenger Queues can be obtained as a list of queues in the selected airport, or for a
specific checkpoint, or for a particular queue specified by a UUID, using the following GET requests:

Passenger Queues paths Result

/aci/airports/{Airport ICAO Returns all of the Passenger Queue(s) at the Airport


Code}/queues specified by ICAO Code grouped by Checkpoint.

/aci/airports/{Airport ICAO

Information on the four Passenger Queue measures can be obtained as a list of entries for all the
queues in the selected checkpoint, or for a particular queue specified by a UUID, using the following
GET requests:

Queue Measurements paths Result
