Optimize Landside Airport Operations Using A Discrete Event Simulation

With this research the landside departure processes of four airports have been simulated using a discrete event simulation. By increasing today’s passenger numbers the bottlenecks of each of these airports are determined. An optimization to the used equipment has been performed in order to make the process more efficient. Furthermore, the...

Modelling and analysis of dynamic relations and trade-offs between security and efficiency in airport security operations

The two performance areas “security” and “efficiency” in airport security operations cannot be analyzed apart from each other, since influencing one has a large impact on the other. In this research agent-based modelling is used to analyze dynamic relations and trade-offs between security and efficiency within airport security operations....

Airport Surface Planning under Uncertainty

This thesis describes a solution to the Ground Movement Problem, formulated by Atkin et al. in 2010. It is described as a routing and scheduling problem and involves directing aircraft to their destinations in a timely matter, with the aim to either reduce the overall travel time and/or to meet some target time windows. A Markov Decision Process...

AirLoc: Pedestrian dead reckoning for passenger localization

Travelling through airports can be quite a stressful experience for passengers. Airlines, such as KLM, want to make the journey of their passengers through airports as comfortable as possible. This thesis proposes an indoor localization system for airlines called AirLoc. The research question was: "Which airport specific indoor localization...
