Time-dependent Queuing Approaches for Airport Immigration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Standard queuing theory describes only the long-term behavior of a queue. The passenger arrivals at the airport immigration fluctuate significantly during the day. The standard queuing theory cannot be used in this case for predicting the queue lengths. Instead time-dependent queuing approaches need to be applied. The queues and arrivals at the incoming immigration of Narita airport were observed on a single day. The utilization ratios show that the immigration was overloaded during a large part of the observation period. This condition requires the use of queuing approaches that can cope with overload. In this paper a deterministic fluid approximation and an approach based on the numerical integration of the Kolmogorov differential equations are discussed. Both approaches produce similar results and these results are reasonable compared to the observed queues.

A Queuing Model of the Airport Departure Process
This paper presents an analytical model of the aircraft departure process at an airport. The modeling procedure includes the estimation of unimpeded taxi-out time distributions, and the development of a queuing model of the departure runway system based on the transient analysis of D(t)/Ek(t)/1 queuing systems. The parameters of the runway service process are estimated using operational data. U...
متن کاملQueue Analysis at Toll and Parking Exit Plazas: A Comparison between Multi-server Queuing Models and Traffic Simulation
Multi-server queuing analysis can be used to estimate average wait times and queue lengths at toll and parking exit plazas given arrival rates, number of servers, and service rates. These queuing models approximate the performance of queuing systems with multiple queues. While the queuing equations are useful where there are multiple servers, they do not fully reflect the operation of a toll pl...

متن کاملTransient Analysis of D ( t ) / M ( t ) / 1 Queuing System with Applications to Computing Airport Delays
This thesis is motivated by the desire to estimate air traffic delays at airports under a range of assumptions about the predictability of (a) inter-arrival times of demands (arrivals and departures) and (b) service times of aircraft movements (landings and takeoffs). It consists of two main parts. In the first, a transient analysis of a D(t)/M(t)/1 queuing system is presented. The reason for f...
متن کاملBenefits of Virtual Queuing at Congested Airports Using ASDE-X: A Case Study of JFK Airport
ASDE-X is a runway safety system that fuses data from multiple sources to provide enhanced air traffic control situational awareness. These data may also be used to manage arrival and departure delay at congested airports. This paper demonstrates the potential for delay management by using departure data recorded by the ASDE-X system at JFK Airport before runway reconstruction in 2010 began. Th...
