Evaluation of an Automated Airport Ground Transportation Information System
Transportation Research Record, 1998Co-Authors: Geoffrey D. GoslingAbstract:Described are the results of an evaluation study of a demonstration program sponsored by the Division of Aeronautics of the California Department of Transportation, in which computer-based Ground Transportation information kiosks were installed in four California airports, in conjunction with a similar program undertaken by the Los Angeles Department of Airports. The study included an analysis of kiosk-use patterns derived from the logfiles of user keystrokes and various system actions, which are automatically maintained by the kiosks, and surveys of both kiosk users and airport users in general to determine traveler awareness of the new information kiosks, identify passenger Ground Transportation information needs, evaluate user satisfaction with the information provided, and determine general travel characteristics of kiosk users. Finally, the costs involved in routine operation and in maintenance of the kiosks are examined and a number of recommendations are made on the future use of the kiosks and on ...

Evaluation of a California demonstration of an automated airport Ground Transportation information system
1995Co-Authors: Geoffrey D. Gosling, S W LauAbstract:This report documents an evaluation study of a demonstration program sponsored by the Division of Aeronautics of the California Department of Transportation in which computer-based Ground Transportation information kiosks were installed in four California airports, in parallel with a similar program by the Los Angeles Department of Airports. The study included an analysis of kiosk use patterns derived from the logfiles of user keystrokes and various system actions that are automatically maintained by the kiosks, and surveys of both kiosk users and airport users in general to determine passenger awareness of the new information kiosks, identify passenger Ground Transportation information needs, evaluate user satisfaction with the information provided and determine general travel characteristics of kiosk users. The research also included an analysis of the use of different Ground Transportation modes at each of the demonstration airports over the year prior to the start of the demonstration and the first year of the demonstration, as well as at two control airports that did not participate in the demonstration. Finally, the study examined the costs involved in routine operation and maintenance of the kiosks, and made a number of recommendations on the future use of the kiosks and the need to preserve the information generated by the demonstration program.

ROLE OF DOOR-TO-DOOR VANS IN AIRPORT Ground Transportation
Transportation Research Record, 1994Co-Authors: Eric Mohr, Geoffrey D. GoslingAbstract:The characteristics of door-to-door van service in the airport Ground Transportation system are analyzed. The evolution of airport Ground transport is traced; the market niche of door-to-door service is delineated; and air passenger characteristics favoring door-to-door modes in general and door-to-door vans in particular are reviewed. A detailed intermodal comparison of vehicle kilometers (vehicle miles), person minutes, and user cost for air-traveling parties of various sizes using the six airport Ground transport modes is presented. Management issues facing door-to-door van service managers are discussed, and information needs of the industry and future research needs are indicated.

the bi objective insular traveling salesman problem with maritime and Ground Transportation costs
European Journal of Operational Research, 2018Co-Authors: Pablo A Miranda, Carola A Blazquez, Carlos Obreque, Javier Maturanaross, Gabriel GutierrezjarpaAbstract:Abstract This paper introduces and studies the bi-objective insular traveling salesman problem, where a set of rural islands must be served using a single barge following a single route. Each island presents a number of docks from which at least one dock must be selected for visiting. One distinctive feature is that the freight to be collected from each dock or node is not known in advance, since they depend on a set of selected docks at each island and on the strategy employed to allocate the island demands among the visited docks. In contrast to other similar problems found in the literature, particularly the generalized traveling salesman problem, two objective functions are aimed to be minimized: maritime and Ground Transportation costs. The Ground Transportation cost incurred at the islands is strongly related to the strategy for transporting the freight to the selected docks inside the islands, which is a distinct characteristic of the studied problem. The proposed mixed integer programming model is solved for a set of real instances from Chile using a weighted sum approach, denoting the bi-objective nature of the problem. This problem feature along with the optimal solution structure are revealed and analyzed, and the appropriateness of the proposed approach is highlighted for freight collection or distribution decision making in insular zones.

The airport Ground-Transportation industry during COVID-19
Journal of Airport Management, 2020Co-Authors: Ray A MundyAbstract:The purpose of this paper is to describe the airport Ground-Transportation industry as the integral third leg comprising the airline, airport, Ground-Transportation industry;the impact of COVID-19 on its operations;and how the industry is repositioning itself for the future The paper also depicts the positive growth many of these operators were having prior to the COVID-2019 pandemic, and the types of traffic congestion along with financial concerns that were being addressed by North American airports Like many Transportation industries, airport Ground Transportation is comprised of asset-based and asset-light operators The differences in the capabilities of these operators during this period of little-to-no demand are explained Having these different capabilities will dictate the speed at which these different operations may gear back up to serve the airline travelling public The paper also details the disproportionate number of industry drivers affected by the virus and the financial difficulties many drivers are having in this industry Also detailed are what operators are doing to provide safe operations for their drivers and their passengers Furthermore provided are recommended guidelines for Ground operators to follow in creating a safe environment for their drivers and their passengers Finally, the paper looks to the future and how airports and Ground-Transportation operators might use this downtime to plan and implement improved services as the economy rebounds to pre-2020 levels © 2020, Henry Stewart Publications All rights reserved

AIRPORT Ground Transportation MANAGEMENT: MOVING TOWARDS THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
Transportation Planning and Technology, 1996Co-Authors: Stephen M. Rutner, Ray A MundyAbstract:Over the last fifty years Ground Transportation management (GTM) has slowly evolved into a major function at most larger airports. However, during this time there has been relatively little written discussing the idea, organization structures or duties included within this functional activity. This paper reviews and updates the limited, earlier research. This study replicates initial work done in 1989 and thus provides a short longitudinal view of the airport GTM function. The final results demonstrate the current position of GTM and suggest trends for the future.

EVOLUTION OF Ground Transportation MANAGEMENT AS A MAJOR AIRPORT FUNCTION
Transportation Research Record, 1992Co-Authors: Ray A MundyAbstract:Airport organization is discussed, special attention being given to the structure of landside management. The past structures of airport management are surveyed, the origin of the structures of these organizations is explained, and ways the structures have evolved from 1940 to the present are discussed. With this backGround the results of a recent U.S. survey on current airport organizational structures are presented as they pertain to Ground Transportation management. Organizational literature and theory are discussed as they pertain to the potential development of airport organizational structure; specifically, four evolutionary stages of Ground Transportation management are proposed. It is suggested that airport Ground Transportation officials are represented inadequately in the management of U.S. airports as depicted by their representation in the organizational charts. However, this is changing as the management of landside activities receives more attention and resource prominence within the overall management of modern airport complexes.

quantifying and spatial disaggregation of air pollution emissions from Ground Transportation in a developing country context case study for the lima metropolitan area in peru
Science of The Total Environment, 2020Co-Authors: Yovitza Romero, Norvic Chicchon, Fabio Duarte, Julien Noel, Carlo Ratti, Marguerite NyhanAbstract:Abstract Ambient air pollution contributes approximately 3.7 million premature deaths annually worldwide with air pollution from Ground Transportation posing a significant threat in urban areas. This concern is especially relevant in cities with fast-growing economies in the developing countries, as is the case of Lima Metropolitan Area (LMA) in Peru. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the impacts of Ground Transportation emissions on air pollution and population health in the LMA. In this study we quantified air pollution emissions from Ground Transportation, by combining local Transportation and meteorological data with emission factors determined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US-EPA's) Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES). Total annual emissions of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter (PM2.5) were quantified, temporally resolved and then spatially disaggregated within the LMA study domain. Our study, therefore, provides an approach for quantifying Transportation emissions for a large metropolitan area in a developing country where detailed data is not available. This research sets the need of future work aiming at understanding the impact of Ground Transportation emissions, air pollution levels and their subsequent effects on human health. Capsule We provide a framework for computing and spatially disaggregating air pollution emissions from Ground Transportation in a rapidly growing economy in a developing country context.
