The Task

A Boeing CompanyAuckland June 033

Following 11th September 2001 reaction by US government – introduce 100% screening across the country

Requirement - install combination of EDS and ETD stations at 438 US airports

Boeing awarded contract to oversee the effective installation of machines into airports

Engineering, architectural, airport consultants and construction firms required for the exercise

Tender developed and released for bid early 2002

Issues to be Addressed

Auckland June 034

Model airport using data from architects & planners

What number, location, and combination of machines?

What protocol to best process people and bags?

What space is required for machines and people?

Identify modelling resources and conduct training

What queue and procedure setup for maximum efficiency?

Passenger flow pattern optimization

Baggage room processing procedures

Passenger and baggage matching

Passenger and baggage tracking from check-in to loading

Beginning TSA project

Simulation was used to…

A Boeing Company

Model an entire airport terminal environment or just discrete areas

Associate every passenger and every bag with a specific flight, provide a description and security processing record

Reduce risk and offer cost avoidance opportunities by analyzing proposed changes and what-if scenarios

Determine processing system’s capacity limits, hardware and staffing requirements, over any time period of interest

Assist managers and designers by predicting delays or problems for nearly any aspect of passenger and baggage processing
