Abstract:
With the rapid development of China’s air transport industry, the airport shuttle bus has become an indispensable part of the airport special vehicles. At present, disabled passengers in civil aviation airports have difficulty in getting on and off the shuttle bus, therefore, this design takes this as a starting point to design an airport ferry with special functions to assist disabled passengers boarding and disembarking functions and to improve the service level of airport barrier-free facilities while solving problems.

Abstract:
Advanced air mobility (AAM) is a broad concept enabling consumers access to on-demand air mobility, cargo and package delivery, healthcare applications, and emergency services through an integrated and connected multimodal transportation network. However, a number of challenges could impact AAM’s growth potential, such as autonomous flight, the availability of take-off and landing infrastructure (i.e., vertiports), integration into airspace and other modes of transportation, and competition with shared automated vehicles. This article discusses the results of a demand analysis examining the market potential of two potential AAM passenger markets—airport shuttles and air taxis. The airport shuttle market envisions AAM passenger service to, from, or between airports along fixed routes. The air taxi market envisions a more mature and scaled service that provides on-demand point-to-point passenger services throughout urban areas. Using a multi-method approach comprised of AAM travel demand modeling, Monte Carlo simulations, and constraint analysis, this study estimates that the air taxi and airport shuttle markets could capture a 0.5% mode share. The analysis concludes that AAM could replace non-discretionary trips greater than 45 min; however, demand for discretionary trips would be limited by consumer willingness to pay. This study concludes that AAM passenger services could have a daily demand of 82,000 passengers served by approximately 4000 four- to five-seat aircraft in the U.S., under the most conservative scenario, representing an annual market valuation of the 2.5 billion USD.

Abstract:
An optimization model of airport shuttle bus routes is constructed by taking operational reliability maximization as a main goal in this paper. Also, a hybrid genetic algorithm is designed to solve this problem. Then the theoretical method is applied to the case of Nanjing Lukou International Airport. During the research, a travel time reliability estimation method is proposed based on back propagation (BP) neural network. Absolute error and regression fitting methods are used to test the measurement results. It is proved that this method has higher accuracy and is applicable to calculate airport bus routes reliability. In algorithm design, the hill-climbing algorithm with strong local search ability is integrated into genetic algorithm. Initial solution is determined by hill-climbing algorithm so as to avoid the search process falling into a local optimal solution, which makes the accuracy of calculation result improved. However, the calculation results show that the optimization process of hybrid genetic algorithm is greatly affected by both the crossover rate and mutation rate. A higher mutation rate or lower crossover rate will decrease the stability of the optimization process. Multiple trials are required to determine the optimal crossover rate and mutation rate. The proposed method provides a scientific basis for optimizing the airport bus routes and improving the efficiency of airport’s external transportation services.

Abstract:
The present paper deals with a more efficient way of transporting passengers to the Košice airport, which will result in an overall acceleration of traffic and a reduced transportation time. Based on the actual time of boarding at specific stops on the given route, a simulation was performed through the Extend Simulation Program. Through simulating further two suggested modifications in the placement of ticket validators in the vehicle and through using the same input data, the passenger boarding time has been reduced. The data in the models can be modified and altered according to various requirements and criteria. Based on the results of the simulation, it was possible to propose a more efficient solution to accelerating the public transport to the Košice airport.

Abstract— Yogyakarta International Airport is a new airport in Yogyakarta, located in Temon, Kulonprogo Regency. Yogyakarta International Airport began operations on May 6, 2019. It was marked by the first landing of Citilink from Halim Perdanakusuma Jakarta. To support airport operations, the Transportation Department also prepares supporting transportation modes, such as airport trains, Damri Buses and, Shuttle Bus to get to the Airport. This mode of transportation connects cities around the airport, such as Purworejo, Magelang, Yogyakarta City, and even Surakarta City. However, because the airport is still relatively new, the information obtained by the public is still minimal. Therefore an informative application is needed for prospective passengers to go to or leave the airport. The application is made based on mobile, by utilizing GPS technology to monitor the position of the vehicle in real-time. This application will make it easier for visitors to travel to areas around YIA Airport.

Abstract:
In this article, we unveil determinants of guest satisfaction with urban hotel locations and disclose what types of locations are preferred by guests. Using data from 8,185 online reviews of 220 Los Angeles hotels checked in during a 1-year period, we apply a mixed-effect ordered logit model to investigate factors determining location evaluation scores. We classify all location-related factors into three categories: accessibility to points of interest, transport convenience, and surrounding environment. Our results suggest that a property’s accessibility to attractions, airports, universities and public transportation, as well as green spaces, bodies of water, and local businesses are significant determinants. Free parking and airport shuttle bus service could mitigate disadvantages related to inferior airport accessibility. Moreover, we underscore different hotel location satisfaction effects across travelers’ experiences and types of travel described in the online reviews. Lastly, different types of travelers demonstrate heterogeneous location preferences related to different tourist attractions.

Abstract:
<p>Most of the transportation in Indonesia still uses oil as their fuel, thus Indonesia is currently facing one of the Energy Security issues which are oil availability. Nowadays, Indonesia doesn’t have sufficient oil production, consequently, Indonesia must import oil to meet its daily demand. Furthermore, Indonesia also dealing with an environmental issue from the transportation sector, which is air pollution. Air pollution is one of the non-military threats that threaten the lives of many people in Indonesia. The non-military defense is an effort made to ward off non-military threats. One of the ways to fight air pollution is to reduce the use of oil in the transportation sector. Currently, the development of innovative technology in the field of transportation is increasingly oriented to electric vehicles (EV). This is due to EVs that do not produce gas emissions, increase energy efficiency, and reduce oil consumption. In August 2018, a one-week trial runs on an electric bus at Soekarno-Hatta Airport conducted to looking for responses from passengers when boarding an electric bus as an airport shuttle bus. Therefore, this study will be further determining the strategies of electric bus implementation at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. The method used is a qualitative method using a case study approach and Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat Analysis with Quantitative Strategic Programming Matrix. This study concludes that the strategy that has to be implemented first for electric bus implementation in Soekarno-Hatta Airport is Strength-Opportunity 3 (SO3) strategy, which is collaborating with Bus Companies to become a pioneer in electric bus implementation in Indonesia’s Airport and improve the Eco Airports Status.</p>

In recent years, since the airlines increase the routes between China and Taiwan, and the low-cost airlines prospered, passengers entering and leaving Taiwan increase significantly. The vehicle transportation system which connects suburb airport and resident is more important. The service model developed in this study considers door-to-door customers who require pickup and delivery service by shuttles between airport and appointed destinations. Through shared-ride service, customers can possess the convenience of door-to-door service with cheaper fare than taxi. Controlling pickup and delivery times are important to the airport shuttle service providers. Therefore, this study considers three kinds of time windows to make sure customer can catch the plane on time and satisfy the waiting time. The objective function of the proposed mathematical model is to minimize the total cost which includes total distance cost, vehicle activated cost, cost of customer riding time, and cost of customer waiting time. Service time is transformed to cost, it is believed that customer satisfaction can be considered. Solution algorithm using threshold accepting method is to improve vehicle routing problem in airport shuttle service. In sensitivity analysis, this study test different shuttle operating models and control strategies, the results indicate that combination shuttle mode proposed in this study is a better choice.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the total number of airport passengers were 35 million persons and 45 million persons in 2008 and 2013, respectively, it increased by 28 % in the past five years. With the rapid growth of the airport passengers, airport rideshare shuttle service provided a punctual, convenient and comfortable airport shuttle service for airport passengers. Well-planned vehicle routing and scheduling for airport shuttle service can improve service efficiency and save total costs. How to design a suitable vehicle routing and schedule plan is an important issue for airport shuttle service problems. This study formulates a Vehicle Routing Problems with Clustered Backhauls and Time Windows (VRPCB-TW) Problem for airport shuttle service, toward the objective of minimizing the total cost, including fix start-up costs and operation cost. The artificial immune algorithm is designed to solve the VRPCB-TW under a given demand. DynaTAIWAN, the traffic simulation software is uesd to simulate traffic flows in the simplifed real network of Kaohsiung city and Kaohsiung International Airport. Three scenarios are developed to discuss the airport shuttle. The results illustrates that the smaller capacity of vehicles, the wider length of time windows or the bigger amount of demand occurs more total operational.

Abstract:
Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, envisioned it as a place where “people can communicate … by sharing their knowledge in a pool … putting their ideas in, as well as taking them out” (Berners-Lee, 1999). For much of its first decade, the Web was, however, primarily a place where the majority of people took ideas out rather than putting them in. This has changed. Many “social software” services now exist on the Web to facilitate social interaction, collaboration and information exchange. This article introduces wikis, jointly edited Web sites and Intranet resources that are accessed through web browsers. After a brief overview of wiki history, we explain wiki technology and philosophy, provide an overview of how wikis are being used for collaboration, and consider some of the issues associated with management of wikis before considering the future of wikis. In 1995, an American computer programmer, Ward Cunningham, developed some software to help colleagues quickly and easily share computer programming patterns across the Web. He called the software WikiWikiWeb, after the “Wiki Wiki” shuttle bus service at Honolulu International Airport (Cunningham, 2003). As interest in wikis increased, other programmers developed wiki software, most of it (like WikiWikiWeb) open source. Although wiki software was relatively simple by industry standards, some technical knowledge was required to install, maintain and extend the “wiki engines.” Contributors needed to learn and use a markup language to edit pages, and even if the markup languages were often simpler than HTML, non-technical users did not find these early wikis compelling. In the early years of the twenty-first century, a number of developments led to more widespread use of wikis. Wiki technology became simpler to install and use, open source software was improved, and commercial enterprise-grade wiki software was released. The not insignificant issues associated with attracting and managing a community of people who use a wiki to share their knowledge were discussed in forums such as MeatballWiki (http://www.usemod.com/cgibin/ mb.pl?action=browse&id=MeatballWiki&ol did=FrontPage). The public’s attention was drawn to wikis following the launch, in January 2001, of the publicly written Web-based encyclopedia, Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org). And wiki hosting services and application service providers (ASPs) were established to enable individuals and organizations to develop wikis without the need to install and maintain wiki software themselves. By July 2006, nearly 3,000 wikis were indexed at the wiki indexing site www.wikiindex. org, popular wiki hosting services such as Wikia (www.wikia.org) and seedwiki (www.seedwiki. org) hosted thousands of wikis between them, and Wikipedia had more than four and a half million pages in over 100 languages. Moreover, wikis were increasingly being used in less public ways, to support and enable collaboration in institutions ranging from businesses to the public service and not-for-profit organizations.

Abstract:
The Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) has been used for several high speed maglev applications but only recently have developers applied it to urban transit. MagneMotion has worked with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), as part of their Urban Maglev Project, to develop an LSM propelled maglev transit system called M3. The top speed is only half that of the Transrapid maglev trains now operational in China but by using small vehicles with short headway and rapid acceleration it is possible to achieve outstanding performance at much lower cost. The combination of LSM technology and small vehicles is a cost effective replacement for rotary motor and Linear Induction Motor (LIM) powered trains for all transit applications, including conventional rail and monorail. LSM is the enabling technology that makes it economically and technically feasible to achieve high capacity with short vehicles and, conversely, the use of small vehicles makes LSM propulsion economically attractive. Small vehicles operating with short headway and organized in clusters can achieve high capacity without offline loading. Very precise position sensing and guideway based propulsion and control make short headways safe and affordable. This paper describes the objectives of the MagneMotion LSM development, discusses some of the design features, and presents 3 examples. The examples are based on operational speeds up to 60 m/s (134 mph), accelerations up to 0.16 g, vehicle headways down to 4 seconds, and capacities up to 12,000 passengers per hour per direction (pphpd). Examples include a 1 mile high capacity shuttle, a 4 km unidirectional loop with several stations, and a 30 km high-speed airport connector. Calculations show that an LSM propelled transit system has lower capital cost than conventional transit systems using vehicle-based electric propulsion with either rotary motors or LIMs. Vehicles are simplified, the cost of energy and maintenance is reduced and, most important, users of the transit system experience major reductions in trip times.

Abstract:
Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a highly advanced technology which provides, through magnetic forces, contactless movement with no wear and friction and, hence, improved efficiency, followed by reduced operational costs. It can be used in many fields, from wind turbines to nuclear energy and elevators, among others. Maglev trains, which use magnetic levitation, guidance and propulsion systems, with no wheels, axles and transmission, are one of the most important application of the maglev concept, and represents the first fundamental innovation of rail technology since the launch of the railroad era. Due to its functional features, which replaces mechanical components by a wear free concept, maglev is able to overcome some of the technical restrictions of steel-wheel on rail (SWR) technology, running smoother and somewhat quieter than wheeled systems, with the potential for higher speeds, acceleration & braking rates and unaffected by weather, which ultimately makes it attractive for both high speed intercity and low speed urban transport applications. From a technical perspective, maglev transport might rely on basically 3 technological concepts: i) electromanetic suspension (EMS), based on the attraction effect of electromagnets on the vehicle body, that are attracted to the iron reactive rails (with small gaps and an unstable process that requires a refined control system); ii) Electrodynamic Levitation (EDL), which levitates the train with repulsive forces generated from the induced currents, resulted from the temporal variation of a magnetic field in the conductive guide ways and iii) Superconducting Levitation (SML), based on the so called Meissner Effect of superconductor materials. Each of these technologies present distinct maturity and specific technical features, in terms of complexity, performance and costs, and the one that best fits will depend on the required operational features of a maglev system (mainly speed). A short distance maglev shuttle first operated commercially for 11 years (1984 to 1995) connecting Birmingham (UK) airport to the the city train station. Then, high-speed full size prototype maglev systems have been demonstrated in Japan (EDL) (552 kph - 343 mph), and Germany (EMS) (450 kph - 280 mph). In 2004, China has launched a commercial high speed service (based on the German EMS technology), connecting the Pudong International Airport to the outskirts of the city of Shanghai. Japan has launched a low speed (up to 100 kph - 62.5 mph) commercial urban EMS maglev service (LIMINO, in 2005), followed by Korea (Incheon, in 2016) and China (Changsha, in 2016). Moreover, Japan is working on the high speed Maglev concept, with the so called Chuo Shinkansen Project, to connect Tokio to Nagoya, in 2027, with top speeds of 500 kph (310 mph). China is also working on a high speed maglev concept (600 kph - 375 mph), supported on EMS Maglev technology. Urban Maglev concept seeks to link large cities, with their satellite towns and suburbs, to downtown areas, as a substitute for subways, due to its low cost potential, compared to metros and light rail (basically due to their lower turning radius, grade ability and energy efficiency). High Speed Maglev is also seen as a promising technology, with the potential do provide high quality passenger transport service between cities in the 240–1,000 km (150–625 mi) distance range into a sustainable and reliable way. This work is supposed to present, based on a compilation of a multitude of accredited and acknowledged technical sources, a review of the maglev transport technology, emphasizing its potential and risks of the low and high speed (urban and intercity) market, followed by a brief summary of some case studies.
