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...

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....

The focus of this study is on the problems connected with road passenger transportation process performance measurement system development. Thus, the main definitions and briefly literature overview in the analyzed research area are given. Later, the main classification of road passenger transportation processes’ performance measures are developed. There are presented obtained performance analy...

With the rapid development of transportation technology, public passenger traffic system construction investment is getting more and more expensive. Determining the development trend and make the optimal allocation of transportation investment becomes more and more important to the government. To describe the relationship and development trends of the integrated passenger transportation system ...

Passenger flow forecast is of essential importance to the organization of railway transportation and is one of the most important basics for the decision-making on transportation pattern and train operation planning. Passenger flow of high-speed railway features the quasi-periodic variations in a short time and complex nonlinear fluctuation because of existence of many influencing factors. In t...

An urban passenger transportation problem is studied. Municipal authorities and passengers are regarded as participants in the passenger transportation system. The municipal authorities have to optimise road width and public transport frequency. The road consists of a dedicated bus lane and lanes for passenger cars. The car travel time depends on the number of road lanes and passengers’ choice ...

The raison d'etre of the Airline Passenger Transportation System (APTS) is the rapid, affordable, and safe transportation of passengers (and cargo). Traditional APTS performance metrics, such as flight delays and cancellation rates, fail to account for the delays to passenger trips caused by cancelled flights, missed connections and diversions. Previous research estimated Passenger Trip Delays ...

OBJECTIVE The history and etiology of airline passenger misconduct are discussed and relevant medico-legal and management implications reviewed. METHOD The medical literature was reviewed and supplemented with internet searches for relevant information. Organizations including the Federal Aviation Administration, International Air Transport Association, Transportation Safety Board of Canada, ...

The raison d’etre for the air transportation system is the movement of passengers and cargo. Consumer information for airline passengers and regulatory consumer protection of airline services provide measures of performance using the percentage of on-time flights, and the percentage of cancelled flights. Researchers have shown that these “flight-based” metrics are a poor proxy for measuring the...
