Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of two methods for passenger flow modeling of an airport terminal. The two approaches, based on store-and-forward models and Petri nets, both have their own benefits and drawbacks. The paper presents the fundamentals of the two methods, their application to airport terminal passenger flow modeling, and then gives a comparison based on simulation results obtained on a small-scale terminal model.
