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....

Trade-off Analysis between Security and Efficiency of Airport Operations: A methodological underpinned modelling approach to identify, analyse and evaluate trade-offs based on empirical choice observations

This Master Thesis document presents a research on trade-off analysis between security and efficiency factors during airport operations. Over the past few decades there has been an increase in security in the air transportation industry, with even more measures taken since 9/11. Besides affecting the operational costs of airports, the stricter...
