Theory of Allocating and Scheduling Resources at Airport Passenger Terminals: A Review

Abstract:

This paper reviews theory of allocating and scheduling resources at airport passenger terminals, from three aspects, that are method of integrating airport operational data, method of predicting passenger flow at airport terminals and optimization method of allocating and scheduling resources at airport terminals. Directions and challenges of future research are identified.
