Supporting Intelligent Passenger Flows in Airport Terminals

an Optimum Resource Allocation Model for Airport Passenger Terminals (RESEARCH NOTE)

According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...

Evaluating Terminal Management performances: the case of AIA terminal and the use of E-SLAM

We introduce the Enhanced-SLAM, an analytical aggregate model for estimating capacity and delays in airport passenger terminals which may consider also the Baggage Handling System operations. The model, integrated in the OPAL platform, was tested on the new Athens International Airport terminal.

Passenger Terminal Design

The standard procedures for sizing the spaces for passenger activities in airport terminals are unsatisfactory in that they easily lead to expensive errors. The essential difficulty lies in the nature of the process, and in particular with the several formulas which specify the area per passenger in different parts of the building. The process and these formulas are insensitive both to the vari...

Simulation Analysis of International-departure Passenger Flows in an Airport Terminal

An entire airport terminal building is simulated to examine passenger flows, especially international departures. First, times needed for passengers to be processed in the terminal building are examined. It is found that the waiting time for check-in accounts for more than 80 percent of the total waiting time of passengers spent in the airport. A specialpurpose data-generator is designed and de...
