Passenger Space Guidelines (1/2) Personal space Transit 18x24 inches Airports 5-10 ft 2 (30 inch circle) Lateral movement 30 inches between “traffic” lanes Longitudinal movement 8-10 feet per person Net pedestrian area ft 2
Passenger Space Guidelines (2/2) Queuing space 5-10 ft 2 Stairs ft 2 Escalators can be smaller Pedestrian flow f = s/a Where f pedestrian flow, s speed, a area per pedestrian (note analog to vehicular traffic flow density relationship: flow = density * velocity)
Passenger System (1/5) Entryways Passenger and visitors Enplaning and deplaning Auto doors20-30 pax/min Manual doors10-15 pax/min Lobby areas All persons using airport Seating capacity 15-25% of enplaning Space 20 sf/pax
Passenger System (2/5) Ticket counter Check in and baggage drop Estimate 10% of peak hour originating pax with 5 pax in line max Spacing: ft. between counters without bags ft. between counters for regular Queue space 3 ft./pax = 15 ft. Provide ft. circulation area behind queues 10 ft. of depth for the counter itself
Passenger System (3/5) Security Service rate pax/hr (lower than book says) ft wide; ft long Deplaning exit corridor ft wide, revolving door or guards 20-40’10’-20’ 15-20’
Passenger System (4/5) Departure lounge Estimate 80% of pax need seating Space ft 2 /pax Walking corridors should be provided Boarding corridors 10 ft. wide Service rate 2-4 pax/min
Passenger System (4/5) Corridors 20 ft wide minimum ft desirable for maneuvering Stairs 30 inches minimum per lane Speed ft/min; average 100 ft/min Baggage claim Special procedures
Queuing Equations (1/4) Arrivals Poisson rate q Service Exponential rate Q Ratio ρ= q/Q < 1.0 More than one server (n) Ratio ρ = q/(Qn)
Queuing Equations (2/4) M/M/1 Wait time in queue: E(w) = q/[Q(Q-q)] Average time in system: E(t) = 1/(Q-q) Average queue length: E(m) = q 2 /[Q(Q-q)] Probability of k “units” in system: P(k)= (q/Q) k [1-(q/Q)] Used for flow through processes Entrance gates Security Jetways
Queuing Equations (2/4) M/D/1 Wait time in queue: E(w) = q/[2Q(Q-q)] Average time in system: E(t) = [2Q- q]/[2Q(Q-q)] Average time in service: E(t s ) = 1/Q Average queue length: E(m) = q 2 /[2Q(Q-q)] For multiple servers (n), approximate Q as nQ Be careful – service time is not affected by n Check equations above! Used for processes with fixed service Ticket services Car rental
Queuing Equations (3/4) If ρ= q/Q > 1.0 Wait time in queue: E(w’) = E(w) 0.9 +E(e) where E(w) 0.9 is the E(w) when ρ =0.9 and E(e)=T(q-nQ)/(2nQ) where T is the time that demand exceeds service n=number of servers Average queue length: E(m’) = [E(w’)+1/Q)]q Baggage claims Average delay E(b) = E(t 2 ) +NT/(N+1) –E(t 1 ) Where t 2 = time when 1 st bag shows up t 1 = time when passengers arrive N = number of bags per person T = between first and last bags
Queuing Equations (4/4) Total passenger processing time E(T) = E(w) + E(s) + E(t) where E(w) average wait in queue time E(s) average service time E(t) average walk time
