NEW CONCEPTS IN BAGGAGE OPERATIONS FOR NARROW BODY AIRPLANES A Simulation Study
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper new concepts for baggage transport to and from narrow body airplanes are presented. The concepts are simulated and applied to a part of Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. The current baggage transportation is labour intensive and bares the risk of damaging or losing bags. Moreover it is time-critical because of the tight flight schedules used. An alternative scheduling method as well as the application of a partly automated baggage loading and unloading vehicle are investigated with simulation and reported. It appears that a considerable saving is possible when using both the scheduling method and the new baggage vehicle.

Simulating the Departure Baggage Handling System of Santiago De Chile's International Airport
The baggage handling system (BHS) of the Santiago International Airport, follows a semiautomatic scheme, in which routing and security scanning are performed automatically by the conveyor belts’ system, while the sorting of bags and the loading of carts that are finally located in planes, are performed manually by the operators of the company in charge of the ground handling operations of the a...
متن کاملAn integrated simulation-DEA approach to multi-criteria ranking of scenarios for execution of operations in a construction project
The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...
متن کاملPassenger and Baggage Flow in an Airport Terminal: a Flexible Simulation Model
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...

متن کاملDesign of a new narrow band channel drop filter based on photonic crystal ring resonator
In this design an optical ring resonator are embedded between two Horizontal input and output waveguides which has 4 orbitals around the center of the resonator so that each orbital consists of 8 rods with different size in which radius of larger orbitals rods are bigger than radius of smaller orbitals rods. The analysis of simulation results showed the proposed filter has the transmission effi...
