The number of travel-acquired dengue infections has seen a consistent global rise over the past decade. An increased volume of international passenger air traffic originating from regions with endemic dengue has contributed to a rise in the number of dengue cases in both areas of endemicity and elsewhere. This paper reports results from a network-based risk assessment model which uses internati...

The World Gateway Terminal at Miami International Airport (MIA) is under construction. This 1.3 billion dollar Terminal is designed to prepare for the continued growth in travel demands at MIA and will be used by American Airlines as its Latin American Hub. The construction of the new Terminal will include significant demolition of existing concourses, modernization of existing space, and addin...

In transportation, the demand for air that serves fast and comfortable passenger increases day by day. This situation triggers airport investments. Although investments make economic social contributions, they cause many negative environmental impacts. When there is not sufficient area airports, offshore infill areas increase The reduction of living plant species in sea, water pollution, advers...

The contribution of retailing to total airport revenue is becoming more important. This study examines the relationship between passengers’ shopping motivations and their commercial activities at airports, as well as the moderating effects of time pressure and impulse buying on this relationship. A sample of passenger survey data was collected at Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport. Three sh...

Air transportation has been becoming a major part of transportation infrastructure worldwide. Hence the study of the Airports Networks, the backbone of air transportation, is becoming increasingly important. In complex systems domain, airport networks are modeled as graphs (networks) comprising of airports (vertices or nodes) that are linked by flight connectivities among the airports. A comple...

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.

On the basis of relative theories of complex network, a high-speed passenger transportation network using Pajek software is proposed and its topological characteristics as well as network structure are analyzed. Analyzed is also its reliability under two kinds of attacks, and suggestions on its construction recommended. The research in this paper helps to complete the overall network structure ...

We have constructed a framework for analyzing passenger behaviors in public transportation systems as understanding these variables is a key to improving the efficiency of public transportation. It uses a large-scale dataset of trip records created from smart card data to estimate passenger flows in a complex metro network. Its interactive flow visualization function enables various unusual phe...

One of the ways to define mobility in a transportation system is total travel time for all travelers using the transportation network. A good assessment of the mobility is essential for knowing the points of congestion in the network and the factors responsible for the congestion. Also the change in mobility from the baseline to the horizon year would give the modeler an idea of the effectivene...

The airport industry is changing. Once understood as stand-alone public infrastructures, many modern airports now operate within privatized multi-airport systems and contend with previously unknown competitive pressures. As a result, many of the same airports which once enjoyed natural monopolies and government protections must now compete with secondary facilities both for airline patronage an...
