This study develops a new approach for the evaluation of greener airport systems. The proposed concepts demonstrate how to implement greener practices from the early stages of an airport infrastructure project in an economically rational and stakeholder-focused manner. Objectives of the proposed methodology are two-fold: (1) to promote greener design practices among airport planners, designers,...

The main objective of this study is to model the airport and route choice behavior for a direct flight from Taiwan to Shanghai. We adopt a stated preference approach to design choice scenarios and evaluate the effects of airport operating strategy. Further, we formulate a nested logit model that combines the choice of airport and flight route and analyze the trade-off between airport characteri...

Urban acupuncture is a method applied to revive particular area through local internventions; This intervention believed act as catalyst which could bring previously dead or damaged back life. Kemayoran International Airport was the first international airport in Indonesia, operated from 1940 1985, when Soekarno Hatta opened. Now all that left an abandoned building, holds historical value with ...

Considering a worldwide tendency, air transports are growing very fast and many changes have taken place in planning, management and decision making process. Given the complexity of airport operation, the best use of existing capacity is the key driver of efficiency and productivity. This paper deals with the evaluation framework for the ground access at airports, by using a set of mode choice ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the knowledge and behavior of workers at a Saudi airport regarding public health emergency measures applied during Hajj season. METHODS This study is a cross-sectional study conducted at the Prince Mohammed International Airport in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia between August and September 2014. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaires during perso...

Airport Organizations are faced with the increasingly complex task of integrating facility development projects with operational airport systems. Computer network systems present promising opportunities for meeting this challenge. The goal of improving the integration of airport systems is similar to the goal of computerintegrated construction in the Architectural, Engineering, Construction and...

This paper describes an intelligent communication and decision support system for providing wireless services in an airport environment. A novel agent-based business model is proposed and the value chain is analysed for wireless applications. This system is studied and developed within the scope of the IST ADAMANT project, where the Athens International Airport (AIA) is used as the trial enviro...

The French Aeronautics and Space Research Center (ONERA) launched in 1998 a federative R&D project on the airport of the future. A critical step of this project is to design an airport modeling and simulation infrastructure aiming at experimenting and validating some solutions to maintain an average level of aircraft movements whatever the weather conditions are. The infrastructure is currently...

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 concerns. Among various airport operations, this paper studies airport gate scheduling for improved passengers’ experience. Three objectives accounting for passen...

We investigate the use of an Agent-based framework to identify and quantify the relationship between security and efficiency within airport terminals. In this framework, we define a novel Security Risk Assessment methodology that explicitly models attacker and defender behavior in a security scenario. It produces a security risk vector, quantifying the risks to the airport terminal. Efficiency ...
