The long waiting time at airport security has become an emergent issue as demand for air travel continues to grow. Not only does queuing at security cause passengers to miss their flights, but also reduce the amount of time passengers spend…
Passengers' experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system's performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers' interests and…
Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo optimization algorithm and a computer simulation, I find the passenger ordering which minimizes the time required to board the passengers onto an airplane. The model that I employ assumes that the time that…
Airport security queues often suffer from inefficiencies that result in long wait times and decreased throughput, especially at peak departure time, affecting both passengers and airlines. This work addresses the problem of reassigning…
Time spent in processing zones at an airport are an important part of the passenger's airport experience. It undercuts the time spent in the rest of the airport, and therefore the revenue that could be generated from shopping and dining. It…
In this paper, we address the vehicle scheduling problem for improving passenger safety in bus rapid transit systems. Our focus is on passengers waiting at street stops to enter terminal stations. To enhance their safety, we minimize…
Reducing the aircraft boarding time is a common problem not only for airlines, but also for passengers and airports. Group boarding is a popular boarding strategy that separates the passengers into several groups and those groups, which are…
In the elevator industry, reducing passenger journey time in an elevator system is a major aim. The key obstacle to optimising elevator dispatching is the unpredictable traffic flow of passengers. To address this difficulty, two main…
Due to the stochastic nature of departure operations, working at full capacity makes major US airports very sensitive to uncertainties. Consequently, airport ground operations face critically congested taxiways and long runway queues. In…
The timely handling of passengers is critical to efficient airport and airline operations. The pandemic requirements mandate adapted process designs and handling procedures to maintain and improve operational performance. Passenger…
Consider a terminal in which users arrive continuously over a finite period of time at a variable rate known in advance. A fleet of shuttles has to carry the users over a fixed trip. What is the shuttle schedule that minimizes their waiting…
Airport public transport systems are plagued by passenger queue congestion, imposing a substandard travel experience and unexpected delays. To address this issue, this paper proposes a bi-level programming for optimizing queueing network in…
Gate holding reduces congestion by reducing the number of aircraft present on the airport surface at any time, while not starving the runway. Because some departing flights are held at gates, there is a possibility that arriving flights…
This paper takes an empirical approach to identify operational factors at busy airports that may predate go-around maneuvers. Using four years of data from San Francisco International Airport, we begin our investigation with a statistical…
Optimal operation of a country's air transport infrastructure plays a major role in the economic development of nations. Due to the increasing use of air transportation in today's world, flights' boarding times have become a concern for…
Airport departure operations constitute an important source of airline delays and passenger frustration. Excessive surface traffic is the cause of increased controller and pilot workload; It is also the source of increased emissions; It…
Robustness is as important as efficiency in air transportation. All components in the air traffic system are connected to form an interactive network. So, a disturbance that occurs in one component, for example, a severe delay at an…
Airport gate assignment is of great importance in airport operations. In this paper, we study the Airport Gate Assignment Problem (AGAP), propose a new model and implement the model with Optimization Programming language (OPL). With the…
An important passenger service area that has an impact on passenger satisfaction and airport revenue is the check-in counters. The check-in counter allocation problem consists of allocating adjacent counters to airlines at an airport and…
In drone racing, the time-minimum trajectory is affected by the drone's capabilities, the layout of the race track, and the configurations of the gates (e.g., their shapes and sizes). However, previous studies neglect the configuration of…
