Soomers, Joost (author)The increased pressure to reduce aircraft emissions and the growing demand for air travel causes airports to consider alternatives for fuel-inefficient aircraft taxiing. External towing tugs can be deployed to effectively reduce on-ground fuel burn of outbound aircraft. These new operations are likely to aggravate ground delays as a result of...master thesis 2022

Van de Sype, Luka (author)The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, having an impact on many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arrives while people need to be evacuated out of there. However, the airport often forms a bottleneck in these relief operations, because of the sudden need for...master thesis 2022

Gies, Valentin (author)On a journey, most functions of daily life have to be paused or improvised. A few<br/>items used for the most essential of all the various activities that are normally taking place in one’s home environment are condensed in the traveller’s luggage. These items are the only available material for improvisation in addition to the spatial...student report 2022

Vintges, Mark (author)Urbanization is a worldwide trend that drives an immense increase in air traffic demand. The worldwide aviation network makes global business possible which generates economic growth, creates jobs and facilitates international tourism and trade. Many of the world's transport hubs like The Greater London Area have allocated this demand over...master thesis 2022

van Brakel, Evelien (author)The growing aviation industry asks for innovative solutions to be able to handle the increasing amount of baggage. An example of such an innovative solution is Computer Vision Technology (CVT), which uses cameras to identify bags using data and artificial intelligence. The value of CVT for the baggage handling ecosystem is currently unknown....master thesis 2022

(author)In this paper, we propose open machine learning models that can provide airport delay predictions in a network with an error of around or less than five minutes. Due to the complexity of different components of air traffic networks, traditional flight performance model-based predictions fall short when dealing with numerous flights and often are...conference paper 2022

Toet, A.S. (author), van Kuijk, J.I. (author), Santema, S.C. (author)Developments in sustainability and digitisation outline a future of mobility, with multimodal transport becoming the new normal. Travel modalities will no longer be the focal point of mobility, but passenger experiences and the services that provide these will. In a mobility landscape where the passenger experience is key, and multi-leg trips...conference paper 2022

Hasanzade, M. Parsa (author), van Oel, C.J. (author)With the need to increase total revenues, airports have begun to use commercial retail. A well-designed airport may provide great service to clients and consumers and increase their satisfaction and in turn their spending behaviours. Since there is suggestive evidence that there might be cultural associations of white, purple or black with...journal article 2022

Itoh, Eri (author), Mitici, M.A. (author), Schultz, Michael (author)Reducing the length of departure queues at runway entry points is one of the most important requirements for reducing aircraft traffic congestion and fuel consumption at airports. This study designs an aircraft departure model at a runway using a time-varying fluid queue. The proposed model enables us to determine the aircraft waiting time in...journal article 2022

Simons, D.G. (author), Besnea, I. (author), Mohammadloo, Tannaz H. (author), Melkert, J.A. (author), Snellen, M. (author)The impressive growth of the aviation industry and the number of flights entail several environmental repercussions, such as increased aircraft noise emissions. With the worrying number of complaints from the communities around airports comes also the distrust in numerical models used for aircraft noise prediction. In this study, we compare...journal article 2022

Zhu, Xinting (author), Lin, Yu (author), He, Yuxin (author), Tsui, Kwok Leung (author), Chan, Pak Wai (author), Li, L. (author)With the dynamic air traffic demand and the constrained capacity resources, accurately predicting airport throughput is essential to ensure the efficiency and resilience of air traffic operations. Many research efforts have been made to predict traffic throughputs or flight delays at an airport or over a network. However, it is still a...journal article 2022

Janssen, S.A.M. (author), Sharpanskykh, Alexei (author), Mohammadi Ziabari, S.S. (author)Designing agent-based models is a difficult task. Some guidelines exist to aid modelers in designing their models, but they generally do not include specific details on how the behavior of agents can be defined. This paper therefore proposes the AbCDe methodology, which uses causal discovery algorithms to specify agent behavior. The methodology...book chapter 2022

Zhao, Xifan (author), Wang, Yanjun (author), Li, L. (author), Delahaye, Daniel (author)A multiple-airport system (MAS) consists of more than two airports in a metropolitan area under a large block of terminal airspace that is managed by one or two air traffic control units. When the capacity of an airport or of the terminal airspace drops, flight delays occur in the MAS system. A quick estimation and predication of traffic...journal article 2022

Khouw, Yukming (author)Before the global SARS-CoV-2 outbreak worldwide air traffic saw yearly increases. New airports were being build or existing airports were being expanded or redeveloped. Strategic airport planning provides structure to these large scale projects while development phasing manages the complex system of airport development and phasing. The purpose...master thesis 2021

Köstler, Klemens (author)In this paper, we propose and analyze a q-learning-based approach for allocation of operators to security teams in order to improve operational efficiency of an airport security checkpoint. The research is composed of two parts. First, we develop an agent-based model capable of simulating an airport security checkpoint. Second, we introduce...master thesis 2021

van der Horst, Didier (author)The major international airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, is redesigning its security checkpoints for 2024, for which a novel type of security checkpoint configuration is considered. In this redesign, one seeks to find the optimal checkpoint configuration; however, this remains non-trivial. The checkpoint configuration problem requires a...master thesis 2021

van Beek, Soraya (author)Airport operations are highly dependent on safe weather conditions for their daily operations. Especially the visibility conditions are crucial. Low Visibility Procedures (LVP phase M, A, B and C) are defined at Schiphol Airport, resulting in capacity and runway use restrictions. These Low Visibility Procedures are based on a postprocessing...master thesis 2021

Arkesteijn, Laura (author)This thesis has the goal to improve the commercial wayfinding at Schiphol. Commercial wayfinding entails tertiary wayfinding activities, which are not related to the travel process (shopping, eating/drinking, relaxing), whereas functional wayfinding gives information about passenger activities related to the airport process. Individuals can find...master thesis 2021
