What is Resource Management System (RMS)?
Resource Management System (RMS) is a software-based solution designed to manage and allocate various resources used for airport operations. Resource Management System aims to achieve resource utilization while considering timely planning for each resource type.
What are Basic Airport Resources?
- Gates
- Aircraft Stands
- Check-in Desk
- Carousel
- Chute
- Remote Stands
- Bus Gates
- Baggage Lateral
Benefits of Airport Resource Management System (RMS)
Air travel continues to be more complex year by year, so effective planning of operations is critical for airports. Airports have limited resources that have to be managed efficiently to maximize the benefit taken from each resource. It is crucial to provide the optimum assignment for each. Any delay or disruption due to lack of resource availability harms operational flow and passenger experience directly. Resource Management System enables efficient use of airport resources through better planning and optimum use of resources thus, improving the passenger experience.
TAV Technologies Resource Management System (RMS)
TAV Technologies RMS, which is also named as Resource Optimization and Tracking Application, is the key for effective planning of the operations at an airport.
TAV Technologies RMS includes the following modules that can be installed either as a whole or on an individual, modular basis:
- Stand and Gate Management
- Check-in Desk Management
- Carousel Management
- Chute Management
The system was designed to dramatically increase the level of service and enable airport operators and authorities to manage resources throughout the airport, thanks to a long-term academic collaboration that makes use of extensive mathematical modeling and optimization algorithms.

TAV Technologies RMS Core Optimization Engine
TAV Technologies RMS core engine is based on the advanced optimization capabilities which are based on Big Bang-Big Crunch Optimization algorithm. The optimization algorithm of the system is developed in cooperation with prestigious academic partners (Istanbul Technical University, and the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey; TUBITAK) using extensive mathematical modeling and optimization algorithms.
The optimization algorithm can maximize the utilization of resources based on the business requirements to increase revenue generation and customer satisfaction.
TAV Technologies RMS Advanced Rule Management
The system provides a rule management functionality to ensure all operations are met with the allocation. Soft and hard rules can be defined within the system based on numerous criteria (operational capabilities, financial rules, preferences, etc.).
The rules can be prioritized by weighting them, and the optimizer takes defined rules and weightings into account to offer the best fit solution.
TAV Technologies Graphical Interface
The advanced GUI features of TAV Technologies RMS support users in their decision-making processes. Informative visual indicators, easy-to-notice warnings, and color-coded resources and flights based on rules and configurations guide users to find the best solution quickly in time-critical operational cases. The system provides an intuitive Gannt user interface and Aerial View of operation at apron by timeframe.
