Landside operations in air cargo terminals consist of many freight forwarders (FFWs) delivering and picking up cargo at the capacity-constrained loading docks at the airport's ground handlers' (GHs) facilities. To improve the operations of the terminal and take advantage of their geographical proximity …

To assess the acceptance of urban air vehicles by the general public, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is conducting a study with a mixed reality air taxi cabin simulator. This simulator needed a user interface (UI), that visualizes information to increase the passengers’ feeling of safety. The competition …

Export shipments arriving late at the freight building of KLM Cargo at Schiphol Airport is a trigger to deviations in the standard acceptance process. These Late Shows are currently handled ad-hoc making it difficult to plan and predict these events. In addition, shipments arriving on time is currently …

Predictive models and decision support tools allow information sharing, common situational awareness and real-time collaborative decision-making between airports and ground transport stakeholders. To support this general goal, IMHOTEP has developed a set of models able to anticipate the evolution of …

The relentless growth in Mexico City’s aviation traffic has inevitably strained capacity development of its airport, raising the dilemma between the possible solutions. In the present study, Mexico’s Multi-Airport System is subjected to analysis by means of multi-model simulation, focusing on the capacity-demand …

Assigning gates to flights considering physical, operational, and temporal constraints is known as the Gate Assignment Problem. This article proposes the novelty of coupling a commercial stand and gate allocation software with an off-the-grid optimization algorithm. The software provides the assignment …

In this paper we propose a novel approach for validating a simulation model for a passengers' airport terminal. The validation approach is based on a "historical data" and "model-to-model" validation approach, and the novelty is represented by the fact that the model used as comparison uses historical …

With the increase of needs for controlling the passengers that use different modes of transport such as airports, ports, trains, or future ones as hyper loops, security facilities are a key element to be optimized. In the current study, we present an analysis of a security area within an airport with …

Noorderlingen positief over Groningen Airport Eelde Een ruime meerderheid van de Noorderlingen vindt Groningen Airport Eelde van maatschappelijk belang en wil het ook behouden. Dat is de belangrijkste conclusie van een onderzoek dat is gedaan op initiatief van en door het Lectoraat Marketing (Marklinq) …

X-TEAM D2D project is focused on integrating Air Traffic Management and Urban Air Mobility into an overall multimodal transport network to address the potential increase in efficiency of the overall transportation system in the future, considering the operational domain of the urban and extended urban …
