Modeling and Optimizing the Process of Airport Security Checking

Abstract

We firstly identified the bottleneck area at the Airport checkpoint based on the multi-server model, and proposed some schemes to increase checkpoint throughput and reduce variance in waiting time.Then analyzed the process based on the LCIOWF network model, simulating the passengers throughput under different schemes to verify our model and schemes. Comparing the modified simulating result with the unmodified one, we find that the modified simulating throughput is about 70 Pax more than the unmodified throughput. At the same time, we analyzed the process based on the LCIOWF network model, simulating the passenger throughput under different schemes to verify our model and schemes. The result shows that our scheme achieves a great optimization.
