1. A method of providing taxi time information for an airport, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing system from a device, a request for taxi time information associated with the airport;
determining, at the computing system based on aircraft location information data from a set of aircraft, taxi time information for the airport for a time window, wherein:
the set of aircraft include aircraft that taxied at the airport within the time window, the time window extends from a present time to a particular past time that is less than or equal to one day, and
the taxi time information includes, for each of a plurality of incremental time segments within the time window:
an average taxi time for aircraft that completed taxiing during the time segment,
a minimum taxi time for aircraft that completed taxiing during the time segment, and
a maximum taxi time for aircraft that completed taxiing during the time segment; and
generating a graphical representation that visually depicts variations in the average, minimum, and maximum taxi times across the plurality of incremental time segments;
identifying congestion patterns based on comparing the taxi time information across multiple consecutive incremental time segments;
adjusting, based on the identified congestion patterns to reduce congestion at the airport
at the computing system, at least one of:
an aircraft departure time,
a runway assignment,
a taxiway allocation, or
a ground crew resource distribution; and
