To avoid both over-design and under-sizing of airport passenger terminal facilities such as security checkpoints, the infrastructure is designed for a specifically determined design load. As such, load considered short period time, usually an hour operation, during which peak, though not necessarily maximum, demand occurs. For strategic planning applications, future loads can be by either ficti...

The Long Island Railroad (LIRR) operates one of the busiest passenger rail networks in the US, and for over 100 years, the Jamaica terminal is essential to maintain passenger trains to and from Manhattan. Over this time, the patterns of ridership have changed dramatically and there is a new terminal stop at Grand Central Station for LIRR passengers. The “East Side Access” will provide the LIRR ...

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...

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...

In recent years, structural studies have identified a number of bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic adhesive proteins that have a trimeric architecture. The prototype examples in bacteria are the Haemophilus influenzae Hia adhesin and the Yersinia enterocolitica YadA adhesin. Both Hia and YadA are members of the trimeric-autotransporter subfamily and are characterized by an internal passenger doma...

The development of a seat reservation system by JNR (Japanese National Railways) named MARS has been sustained by the growth in passenger transportation operations and the progress of computer technology in Japan. But passenger operations of JNR handled only 23 percent of total passenger traffic in 1985 and the growth in the share of JNR is trifling today. Therefore more efficient and economica...

This paper is an expanded version of a presentation given at the final of the president’s medal during the Operations Research Society’s 50th conference held in York. The paper describes how simulation was adopted to model passenger flows in a new airport terminal and how the model is being used post opening. The paper gives an overview of some of the ways simulation has been employed at Britis...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the influence service quality and departure terminal facilities on passenger satisfaction at Sultan Muhammad Salahuddin airport, Bima. type research taken is quantitative. source data primary that comes from distributing questionnaires with 50 samples, namely passengers who have traveled via air transportation Airport, This uses Multiple Linear...

Freight and passenger transport are two main functions of the infrastructure and transportation networks in each country. It is required to efficiently utilize the transportation infrastructures to increase transportation-related performance measures. In this study, data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is used to evaluate performance of the Iranian provinces from the freight and passenger tran...

As an important component of road transportation, the bus terminal has always been focus research. Therefore, this article uses a combination quantitative and qualitative analysis to study Zhengding third-level from perspective layout analysis. On basis actual investigation, relevant indicators scale are calculated. At same time, three functional areas process flow lines inside passenger statio...
