An airport serves as an interface between ground and air transportation; the efficient processing of ground transportation arrivals and departures is, therefore, an important part of airport operations. At many airports, the current pickup and dropoff locations for taxis and other passenger cars are along the terminal curb or in existing parking facilities, and many of these pickup and dropoff facilities suffer from excessive congestion. In addition, in recent years there has been growth in the use of on-demand ground transportation to and from airports, with the increased adoption of ride-hailing services, resulting in increased congestion. Since most airports are severely space constrained, there is a need to consider pickup and dropoff facilities that are more efficient (in vehicle throughput per unit space) than terminal curbs. In this paper we compare the throughput capacities of different pickup and dropoff facility layouts. We take into account the effect of the facility layout and operational rules on conflicts between the movements of different vehicles, the resulting delays in the movements of vehicles, as well as the spatial requirements of different layouts. We demonstrate the impact of mean service times, variability in service times and vehicle movement times, and operational rules on the relative throughput capacities of different facility layouts.

机场是地面和空中运输的接口；因此，地面运输到达和离开的有效处理是机场运营的一个重要部分。在许多机场，出租车和其他客车的当前接送地点位于航站楼路边或现有停车设施内，而且这些接送设施中的许多都过度拥堵。此外，近年来，往返机场的按需地面交通的使用有所增长，随着乘车服务的采用越来越多，导致拥堵加剧。由于大多数机场的空间受到严重限制，因此需要考虑比航站楼路缘更有效（每单位空间的车辆吞吐量）的接送设施。在本文中，我们比较了不同上下客设施布局的吞吐能力。我们考虑了设施布局和操作规则对不同车辆运动之间的冲突、由此导致的车辆运动延迟以及不同布局的空间要求的影响。我们展示了平均服务时间、服务时间和车辆移动时间的可变性以及操作规则对不同设施布局的相对吞吐能力的影响。以及不同布局的空间要求。我们展示了平均服务时间、服务时间和车辆移动时间的可变性以及操作规则对不同设施布局的相对吞吐能力的影响。以及不同布局的空间要求。我们展示了平均服务时间、服务时间和车辆移动时间的可变性以及操作规则对不同设施布局的相对吞吐能力的影响。
