Hierarchical control theory is applied to the problem of management of passengers and luggage in an airport terminal. For this purpose, the airport system is analyzed and a mathematical model representing the dynamics of the controlled sections is proposed. A well-known interaction prediction method is utilized to achieve optimal performance of the system through the minimization of the queue lengths and hence the waiting time of passengers. Simulation results from a case study of Cairo Airport are presented and discussed. > |
