Many of the existing methods for evaluating an airline’s on-time performance are based on flight-centric measures of flight delay. However, recent research has demonstrated that as much as 50% of passenger delays are caused by passenger travel disruptions, either flight cancelations or missed connections. The propensity for disruptions varies significantly across airports and carriers, based on...

We consider the discrete time problem of optimally dispatching a single, nite capacity shuttle in a two terminal system under incomplete state observations. Passengers arrive to each terminal and must be moved to the other terminal. The durations of successive shuttle trips follow a general distribution, but have a lower bound D 1 . There is an information delay of I time units between the two ...

Travel by bus with long hours will create discomfort feeling for bus passenger. Long hour travel will create physiological stress and psychological stress on bus passenger. It may due to vibration, noise, as well as seat comfort. Seat comfort is a subjective feeling of bus passenger. In this research, air cushion was used to replace the part of the seat foam. During the development of the integ...

The purpose of the Air Transportation System (ATS) is to provide safe and efficient transportation of passengers and cargo. The on-time performance of the ATS is measured by flight-based metrics such as flight delays and flight cancellations. Researchers have shown that flight-based metrics do not accurately reflect the passenger trip experience, and especially underestimate the impacts of canc...

An intermodal transportation terminal is a facility that provides commuters with easy transfer between many transit modes and providers such as buses, light rail, subway, taxis, airport shuttles, and commuter rails. The probability of a passenger transferring from one mode to another and the estimation of total transfer demand are of great importance to both practitioners and researchers when d...

A fundamental component of any National Airspace System (NAS) performance evaluation is the cost impact of air traffic delays, and more generally capacity limitations, on the travelling passengers. In previous research it has been conclusively shown that flight delay data and flightcentric metrics fail to accurately represent the passenger travel experience and passenger trip delays accurately....

As rail station patronage levels increase, so too does the load on the entire railway system. The higher passenger densities exacerbate local egress issues and thus adversely affect dwell time and subsequently punctuality, along with the passenger experience. Devices such as barriers are regularly used to influence passenger egress. However, their use is typically limited to special events; whe...

The yeast nuclear envelope protein NSP1 is located at the nuclear pores and mediates its essential function via the carboxy-terminal domain. The passenger protein, cytosolic dihydrofolate reductase from mouse, was fused to the 220 residue long NSP1 carboxy-terminal domain. When expressed in yeast, this chimeric protein was tightly associated with nuclear structures and was localized at the nucl...

Passenger seaports are new starting-points of urban development. They form a independent industry, become incentives for improving infrastructure and increase the tourist attractiveness city itself region. In view changes in passenger service processes, route ferry cruise networks, due to COVID-19, heads ports terminals set strategic tasks determine directions modernization forecast The regions...

In the United States, many transit agencies are considering integrating their demand-responsive service with traditional fixed-route service. In some cases, it may be advantageous to the transit agency or to the passenger to coordinate traditional demand-responsive transit service with fixed -route service. The demand-responsive service connects passengers from their origin to the fixed route s...
