“…Passengers often find air travel time-consuming, uncomfortable (Greghi et al, 2013), stressful and expensive. Considering the estimated 5.8% annual increase of worldwide traffic and the projected 7.2 billion passengers in 2015 (IATA, 2012a), conditions will only get worse.…”

“…The following criteria were utilized to select body dimensions:(1) the body dimensions reflect physical changes associated with obesity, or (2) the body dimensions are relevant to airline passengers' comfort, safety or health issues. Regarding the second criterion, related previous studies [24,25,48,[54][55][56][57] were reviewed to identify important design issues/considerations. Overall, the studies indicated that passenger seat space design affects passenger comfort and wellbeing the most, and especially, two seat-related dimensions, i.e., seat pitch (the distance between a point on the back of one seat to the same point on the back of the seat in front) and seat width (the distance from armrest to armrest), are critical.…”

Aircraft passenger spaces designed without proper anthropometric analyses can create serious problems for obese passengers, including: possible denial of boarding, excessive body pressures and contact stresses, postural fixity and related health hazards, and increased risks of emergency evacuation failure. In order to help address the obese passenger's accommodation issues, this study developed male and female manikin families that represent obese US airline passengers. Anthropometric data of obese individuals obtained from the CAESAR anthropometric database were analyzed through PCA-based factor analyses. For each gender, a 99% enclosure cuboid was constructed, and a small set of manikins was defined on the basis of each enclosure cuboid. Digital human models (articulated human figures) representing the manikins were created using a human CAD software program. The manikin families were utilized to develop design recommendations for selected aircraft seat dimensions. The manikin families presented in this study would greatly facilitate anthropometrically accommodating large airline passengers.

“…There are numerous publications which focus on passenger terminal design models [17] [20][21], [28]. Examination of travel comfort is also particularly important [10]. The model, apart from the need to ensure security, also indicates the appropriateness of minimisation of inconveniences which may have a negative influence on passenger service quality [9].…”

Abstract. The article presents a developed universal simulation model supporting the design process of the security control area at the airport. The universality of the simulation model allows for its use for the adaptation of the size of the security control area which consists of security check stations with a single flow of passenger streams to the forecast intensity of reporting passengers. The presented model is mostly intended for regional airports, where the security control is conducted using a metal detector and an x-ray device. The functional readiness of the designed system is analysed in terms of the forecast intensity of passenger reports. The functioning of the simulation model is based on time characteristics determined on the basis of research conducted on a real system which allowed for the verification of the functioning of the model. It is also possible to introduce one's own characteristics to optimise another existing real system.
