Transportation terminal is the key node in transport systems. Efficient terminals can improve operation of passenger transportation networks, adjust the layout of public transportation networks, provide a passenger guidance system, and regulate the development of commercial forms, as well as optimize the assembly and distribution of modern logistic modes, among others. This study aims to clarif...

In this paper, we study the interaction between a governmental security agency, such as the Transportation Security Agency, or the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and a terrorist organization, such as Al Qaeda. The governmental agency wants to stop the terrorists, but first must infer whether a visa applicant or an airline passenger is a terrorist or not, on the basis of some observable...

Every passenger who travels by air is exposed to security screening. As part of this procedure, the passenger typically is screened by a walk-through metal detector. Such a device should effectively detect prohibited metal items while simultaneously ensuring adequate throughput at the security screening checkpoint. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate both these factors when selecting an appr...

This paper studies the case of Girona-Costa Brava airport, which is an outstanding example of success in increasing airport activity. Passenger traffic has increased by 770% between 2002 and 2007, and it is expected to keep increasing in the near future. The main factor driving this growth has been the expansion of Ryanair operations. We analyze how the conditions provided by the region and the...

nowadays, the awareness of service firms’ managers about the crucial role of customers in the success or failure of their business has increased. this has led them to this fact that the best strategy for surviving in the marketplace is encouraging customers’ prosocial behaviors in service delivery process. reasonably, one of the best strategies to encourage customers toward these behaviors is s...

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...

The airport transportation network structure and its performance are key factors to benefit the local area or national transportation capability and economic development. This paper presents a method based on the weighted algebraic connectivity to optimize and analyze the network. The indispensability of the weighted adjacent matrix and weighted Laplacian matrix in airport transportation networ...

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....
