Air freight sector has been a growing market worldwide for many years. The rapid growth of scheduled freight aircraft services in particular has been a remarkable feature of the international airline industry during the past decades. Air freight traffic has grown faster than passenger traffic and the production of goods has become more dependent upon air freight services that link global supply...

Inclement weather at an airline's hub airport can be devastating to that airline's schedule. The repercussions resonate throughout the airline's network as capacity is reduced, connections are missed, and passengers are delayed on a larger scale than during irregular operations at a spoke airport. The main hypothesis behind the work presented in this thesis is that by shifting a small fraction ...

Although aviation security is not a new phenomenon to the world, current threats are much more sophisticated such that it is extremely difficult to detect possible threats of terrorism without severely hindering passenger life style. In order to provide adequate security, a much more sophisticated, reliable, and fast screening technique is needed for passenger identification and baggage examina...

With the growing demand for air transportation and the limited ability to increase capacity at key points in the air transportation system, there are concerns that, in the future, the system will not scale to meet demand. This situation will result in the generation and the propagation of delays throughout the system, impacting passengers’ quality of travel and more broadly the economy. There i...

This paper focuses on the design and architecture of an application that will programmatically pre-process data. aims to extract provide clean airport terminal passenger throughput data within United States. A different then use this forecast models via a friendly user experience webpage. The purpose forecasting throughout U.S. terminals is improve Transportation Security Administration (TSA) c...

---With the scale of airport transportation expanding, the level of airport noise pollution is worsening, therefore, installing airport noise monitoring system has been an important method for a lot of airport to monitor the surrounding noise environments. In order to know well the operation of various monitoring points around the airport, this paper presents an assessment model of airport nois...

Quick response (QR) to passenger needs is a key objective for advanced public transportation systems (APTS), and it has become increasingly important for contemporary metropolitan bus operations to gain a competitive advantage over private transportation. This paper presents a real-time control methodology for demand-responsive bus operations that respond quickly to passenger needs. The propose...

This is the second paper of three which concerns improving Passenger Departure Flow. The main aim of this paper is provide a summary of the research results, which includes both the reporting of empirical data collected at the Airport and the results obtained from simulation of existing flow for passanger departure process. The large quantity of data means this paper focuses on reporting data f...

In this paper we discuss the general issue of forecasting highly seasonal demand in regional airports, where peak flows approach airport capacity. For this, we propose a modeling combination, dynamic Tobit models with GARCH errors/disturbances, that is able to capture many of the shortcomings of most traditional models. Models are calibrated using monthly passenger and flight data for a 20 year...
