Title: DYNAMIC CAPACITY OF AIRPORT ENPLANING CURBSIDE AREAS
Accession Number: 00627155
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: An analytical model based on the theory of time-space was developed to calculate the dynamic vehicular capacity of the enplaning curbside area at airport passenger terminal buildings. The enplaning curbside area was considered as a system, and most of the variables that affect the capacity of this system were taken into account. To calculate the practical capacity, two distribution functions were developed. First, the traffic distribution around the doors of the terminal building was analyzed, on the basis of drivers' parking space preference, in the form of a binomial function. Second, weighting functions were developed and calibrated on the basis of users' door preference for unloading, in the case of more than one door, in the form of a modified binomial distribution. Using these functions, the percentage of distribution of traffic as well as the practical dynamic capacity of the enplaning curbs were found.
