Airport system is complex. Passenger dynamics within it appear to be complicate as well. Passenger behaviours outside standard processes are regarded more significant in terms of public hazard and service rate issues. In this paper, we devised an individual agent decision model to simulate stochastic passenger behaviour in airport departure terminal. Bayesian networks are implemented into the d...

Passenger air transport in Brazil, as elsewhere in the world, has been undergoing substantial changes in recent years, not only because of external factors, but also as a consequence of several important changes in the regulatory framework. This paper focuses on the regional aspects of airline passenger traffi c in Brazil, based on a review of the literature and interviews with some key governm...

–This paper presents an investigation into the effectiveness of controllable magnetorheological (MR) damper for a semi-acive vehicle model with passenger seat. Mathematical model has been experimentally developed for controller design using Choi et al. model. A quarter vehicle model has been employed for system performance evaluation via Matlab through numerical simulation. System behaviour rel...

Passenger behavior is the fundamental factor driving air transportation market reactions to the managerial decisions of airlines; therefore, it is important to understand passenger path choice process, and to develop a valid model to represent it. In this thesis, passenger disutilities are used to indicate passengers' sensitivity to alternative path options. Accordingly, passenger disutilities ...

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, ...

Air bags have been and continue to be an effective, lifesaving technology. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has estimated that air bags have saved almost 1,500 lives, with an estimated 569 lives saved in 1995 alone. However, the increasing availability of air bags in passenger vehicles and light trucks has seen a concomitant rise in the report of injuries related to ai...

Accurate estimation of air transport demand is vital for airlines, related aviation companies, and government agencies. For example, both short-term long-term business plans airlines require accurate forecasting future traffic flows. This study aims to forecast the volume passengers in Kuwait International Airport (KIA), which state Kuwait. Using monthly data between January 2012 December 2018,...

Studies on public transit have emphasized the role of passenger satisfaction with service quality in travel choice decisions and indicated that satisfaction depends on various service attributes. Few studies have, however, systematically examined the underlying relationships among service attributes to assess their influence on passenger overall satisfaction. Therefore, to contribute to this ra...

This paper is the second of two papers entitled “Airline Planning Benchmark Problems”, aimed at developing benchmark data that can be used to stimulate innovation in airline planning, in particular, in flight schedule design and fleet assignment. The former has, to date, been under-represented in the optimization literature, due in part to the difficulty of obtaining data that adequately reflec...

On March 19, 1997, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a Final Rule amending FMVSS No. 208 to allow manufacturers to de-power air bags in their passenger vehicles. This is considered an interim solution to the problems associated with aggressive air bag deployments. Consequently, the amended rule has a sunset provision that removes the amendment, with the additi...
