System and apparatus for resource management

A resource management system for managing deployment of one or more mobile interactive kiosks in a transport hub, the system comprising:

• a data input module configured to, when executed by one of one or more computing devices, receive data from one or more data sources, said data sources including a departure control system, wherein the data received from the departure control system relates to a flight that has been cancelled within the transport hub;
• a process director coupled to the data input module and configured to, when executed by one of the one or more computing devices, analyse the data received via the data input module relating to the cancelled flight, the process director being further configured to:
• identify an area within the transport hub associated with the cancelled flight;
• determine whether there are a sufficient number of interactive kiosks present within said identified area for servicing passengers affected by the cancelled flight, wherein said determination is based at least in part on a rules based engine utilising data received from the one or more data sources;
• and
• identify whether one or more additional mobile interactive kiosks are available in another, different area of the transport hub;
• wherein the system further comprises a resource communication module coupled to the process director, the resource communication module being configured to, when executed by one of the one or more computing devices, issue a command instruction to any additional available mobile interactive kiosks that have been identified by the processor director, when the process director has determined that there is not a sufficient number of interactive kiosks present within the area associated with the cancelled flight;
• and wherein the command instruction comprises an instruction for said identified and available one or more mobile interactive kiosks to move to the area associated with the cancelled flight.
