PASSENGERS' FLOW ANALYSIS AND SECURITY ISSUES IN AIRPORT TERMINALS USING MODELING SIMULATION

摘要

The focus of this paper is to deal with passengers flow and security issues of an Italian airport terminal, the International airport of Lamezia Terme in Calabria (Italy). The objective is to analyze system performance under different scenarios through a simulation model implemented in Anylogic. After the modeling phase, the simulation model has been validated comparing simulation results with real system results. The authors use the simulation model for investigating system behavior under the effect different scenarios obtaining varying critical input parameters. The passengers average wait time for reaching the gate area measures system performance.
