In order to analyse the behaviour of pedestrians at the very fine scale, while moving along the streets, in open spaces or inside a building, simulation modelling becomes an essential tool. In these spatial environments, simulation requires the ability to model the local dynamics of individual...

There are many high-speed rail projects in Europe at different stages of development. They are supported on environmental grounds and as a means of reducing congestion on other modes, including aviation. High-speed rail, however requires major investment costs, takes a long time to come online,...

<title/> Air traffic, worldwide, keeps growing strongly, creating critical capacity situations and traffic congestion. As a consequence, large delays are suffered by airlines, passengers and airport authorities alike. When a rough estimate is needed, the results of traditional queuing theory can be used...

Airport capacity has widely been used as a measure of the level of performance of airport infrastructure. In the last decade or so, a new way of interpreting capacity has established itself that includes environmental compatibility, especially in terms of noise nuisance. This study initially...

The aircraft-sequencing problem is a well-known operations research problem. It is concerned with defining optimal strategies for the sequencing of arriving flights at an airport to optimize as part of the management of traffic flow during the final flight phase. The model here introduces...
