Abstract:

During the past 20 years, the management engineering and analysis group of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has periodically performed design and operational evaluations of the international passenger processing system facilities at the John F. Kennedy International Airport. The most recent effort included the development and validation of a computer simulation model of the Federal Immigration and Naturalization and Customs Services and the baggage processing operations. This model was developed to perform operational analyses of planned improvements to the federal inspection facilities. The simulation was initially used to evaluate the expected operational performance of two alternative baggage system expansion plans. The model development, initial model application, and results are described in this paper.
