The new devices will allow customers to indicate whether they have had a positive or negative experience using the airport's restrooms.

The Smart Restroom device is equipped with a wide range of technologies that are used to streamline restroom operations, such as TRAX sensors, which monitor passenger throughput into individual airport restrooms.

After a set number of passengers visit the restroom, the programme automatically alerts the appropriate custodial staff that it needs to be cleaned.
