Abstract

The Paper describes the analysis of passenger flow in the terminal airport, from entrance to boarding. In particular this study develops a simulation model. Based on the Discrete Event theory, that can be used to build a structure that helps to predict delay and to produce a logical and rational management of check-in and security checkpoint inside the airport terminal. The proposed model, tested in the South Italian reality (Capodichino - Naples International Airport), has a modular architecture and interface, enabling quick and easy model building and providing the capability of being adaptable to the configuration and operational characteristics of a wide range of airport terminals.
