Oslo Airport sets up self-service wayfinding kiosks

June 16, 2014

Oslo Airport has set up six new self-service information kiosks to make it easier for travellers to find the information they need at Norway’s main airport.

The 46-inch touchscreen kiosks complement existing passenger services at Oslo Airport and are located in arrivals and departure halls to help passengers navigate their way around the airport.

“Many people have been looking for services that make it easier to navigate inside the airport,” Alf-Einar Larsen, Oslo Airport’s project manager, said in a statement. “By using new technology we can now help passengers calculates walking time to their gate.”

The kiosks provide wayfinding information such as maps for getting to the nearest cafe or departure gate. The map function also provides an estimated walking time for getting from the information kiosk to the selected location.

By scanning a boarding pass at the bottom of the kiosk, passengers will be able to see their gate, flight number and departure time on the screen. The map will show the route to the gate with the estimated walking time and wait time at security and passport queues. “We hope travellers will like the kiosks and that they will find them helpful,” Larsen said.
