Formal and computational modeling of anticipation mechanisms of resilience in the complex sociotechnical air transport system

With ever-growing numbers of passengers and complexity of the air transport system, it becomes more and more of a challenge to manage the system in an effective, safe, and resilient manner. This is especially evident when disruptions occur. Understanding and improving resilience of the air transport system and its adaptive capacity to...

Towards Formalization and Operationalization of Resilience: A study on anticipation in the context of airport security operations

Resilience can be understood as the intrinsic ability of a system to adapt its functioning prior to, during, or following changes and disturbances, so that it can sustain required operations and performance under both expected and unexpected conditions. The need to explore the concept of resilience, in the context of socio-technical systems, is...

AATOM - An Agent-based Airport Terminal Operations Model

In this work, AATOM, a microscopic agent-based model that simulates movement and operations in the airport terminal is presented. Specifcally, the model includes the main handling processes required for outbound passengers namely, check-in, security and border control. Furthermore, basic facilities for discretionary activities are modelled...
