The paper is concerned with passenger orientation, commonly called wayfinding, in airport terminals. Previous work has built on theoretical models of connectivity to quantify visual connections. The paper incorporates empirical findings of the effects of the number of decision points and level...

Transfer passengers have quite different needs than those of originating and terminating passengers. For example, they do not make use of airport access roads. Other facilities may or may not be used depending on the type of transfers, the airport's operational configuration and the airline...

This paper considers the variables influencing the level of service of the operational arrival components at airports using variables that include demand characteristics, terminal layout, the number and type of carousels, waiting time and space available. The analysis combines user monitoring...

A methodology for developing level of service (LOS) standards at airport passenger terminals based on user perceptions is developed. The underlying concept is the derivation of quantitative values for passenger perceptions of service based on airport surveys. The check-in counter component is...
