today, due to rising passenger expectations and other resource constraints, the airport managers and staff do to develop appropriate programs in order to optimize the allocation of the resources. gates and counters are important resources in airport. in this research problem of gate and counter for arrival flights is considered simultaneously and mathematical model is prepared. the objectives o...

This paper presents our ongoing research on an auction model a hybrid demand management approach for congested airports. It is intended to optimize the utilization of airport time slots by maximizing passenger throughput within safe capacity, decreasing congestion and delay. The two sub-models mathematically formulate conflicting optimization problems of efficiency-driven airport regulators and...

The New York metroplex airports (JFK, LGA, EWR) provide air transportation service to this critical international economic hub. In the summer of 2007 the flights servicing the NYC metroplex airports experienced excessive delays and cancellations that added significant costs to doing business in New York. These delays can be attributed to changes in daily airport capacity (due to weather) and to...

Along with the times and rapid population growth in Indonesia, needs of diverse will also increase, not least field transportation. Transportation is a very important need for people this era, reason because transportation helpful makes it easier users, especially air This study aims to examine determine effect variable quality service waiting room facilities partially or simultaneously on pass...

The lack of a friendly and flexible operational model of landside operations motivated the creation of a new simulation model adaptable to various airport configurations for estimating the time behavior of passenger and baggage flows, the elements’ capacities and the delays in a generic airport terminal. The validation of the model has been conducted by comparison with the results of previous r...

The modelling of passengers and pedestrians at transport facilities remains a complex issue to be addressed by industry within a transportation context. Passenger and pedestrian movements are a key component in all transport systems including public transport operations, interchange facilities and airport operations. Pedestrian performance is also a significant issue for design of retail centre...

Taxi services are a vital part of urban transportation, and a considerable contributor to traffic congestion and air pollution causing substantial adverse effects on human health. Sharing taxi trips is a possible way of reducing the negative impact of taxi services on cities, but this comes at the expense of passenger discomfort quantifiable in terms of a longer travel time. Due to computationa...

With the wide-spread adoption of information technology and the global diffusion of GIS, a large volume of digital spatial data continues to accumulate. In the field of domestic air travel, aggregate data at a fine geographic resolution have become available. For instance, ever since the enactment of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, all large certified domestic air carriers conducting sche...

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) uses undercover, or covert, testing to approximate techniques that terrorists may use to identify vulnerabilities in and measure the performance of airport security systems. During these tests, undercover inspectors attempt to pass threat objects through passenger and baggage screening systems, and access secure airport areas. In response to a co...
