<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper explores the possibility of detecting certain movements of vehicles that might provide useful information for crime investigations. It is known that existing car following models are interested in microscopic interactions between vehicles in randomly formed pairs. The...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper describes the development of a runway allocation optimisation model to be used for airport strategic planning. It optimises the allocation of flights to runways on an annual basis, with respect to delay, noise and safety. The multi-objective optimisation is subject to a...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Aviation passenger traffic is forecast to grow significantly over the next decade and beyond. To accommodate this growth will require investment in airport infrastructure, including terminals. These buildings represent large, lumpy investments, so it is important to provide the...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> In this paper, we present a dynamic traffic assignment-simulation modeling framework (DYNASMART-P) to support the evaluation and planning of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) services in urban transportation networks. The model represents the different characteristics associated with BRT...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> In this paper, new concepts for baggage transport to and from narrow-body aircraft are presented. Current baggage transport is labor intensive and bears the risk of damaging or losing bags. Moreover, it is time-critical because of tight flight schedules. An alternative transport and...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> During the last decade, container traffic was the driving force behind the growth in cargo handling in the port of Antwerp, Belgium. Between 1995 and 2005 container traffic almost tripled, enabling Antwerp to increase its market share in the Hamburg-Le Havre range. Moreover, various...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> A real-time operation monitoring system -- Aircraft Turnaround Monitoring System -- is developed based on a system framework to monitor aircraft turnaround operations at an airport. Mobile computing devices (PDAs) and wireless network technology General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) are...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> Estimating missing values is known as data imputation. Previous research has shown that genetic algorithms (GAs) designed locally weighted regression (LWR) and time delay neural network (TDNN) models can generate more accurate hourly volume imputations for a period of 12 successive...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> In this paper, we present a general formulation for the deterministic traffic assignment problem, using an equivalent optimization problem applicable to the case of asymmetric linear cost functions. We present a resolution approach for this problem in such a way that in equilibrium...

<title>A<sc>bstract</sc> </title> This paper merges two perspectives to better understand the future requirements for airports. From the methodological perspective, a system-of-systems (SoS) approach is employed to provide structure to the numerous, multi-level aspects crucial to understanding air transportation...
