Title: PASSENGER FLOW DISTRIBUTIONS AT AIRPORTS
Accession Number: 00647258
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Models available for passenger traffic flow patterns at air terminals are reviewed, and a theoretical framework is proposed. Analogous models in other areas of engineering applications are investigated, and it has been attempted to take advantage of the prevailing experience in those fields. The relevance of the research into passenger flow distributions is explained and applications of such models described. The proposed model provides a sound starting point for queueing theory applications leading to analysis of congestion, delay, and travel times. The passenger behavioral aspects, such as the desire to reach the terminal early and apprehension related to missing flights, are taken into account. Data collected at Sydney International Airport have been used in comparison of the models.
