The concept presented in this paper targets the issue of extensive passenger flows to the airport, which could strongly influence the overall on-time performance of various entities involved. The basic idea of the proposal is to better interconnect the airports' and Air Traffic Management infrastructure with the existing city's urban infrastructure. The goal of the concept is to utilize further available capacities, usable for absorbing certain passengers' flows, and that way enabling their better distribution, which is in line with the main industry stakeholders' interests. Virtual queueing represents the proposed principle, which opens the possibilities for improved guidance of the passengers from their point of origin to the airport (departure). According to the current operational situation, the passengers' guidance will target the most suitable journey options, which involve various points of interest within the city that passengers could visit and spend some time there. This creates additional capacity and places the passengers into the so-called virtual queues. The main beneficiaries of the proposed approach are passengers, with better planning and additional journey offers, airports, with better queueing management and on-time performance, and Air Navigation Service Providers, with reduced delays caused by passenger factors.

The evolution of airports toward the Smart Airport concept is currently very topical. The Smart Airport concept brings the digitization and new technologies amongst other benefits. This article deals with the impact of smart technologies, implemented to increase the passenger throughput at airport processors, on waiting times in the queue. To enable simulating the impact of various passenger throughputs, a developed generic model, that can be primarily applied to arrival border control at any airport, was used. Based on the simulation results, the difference in the waiting times in the queue depending on different processing times and used technologies can be compared and analyzed. Therefore, the model can also be used to determine the impact of implementation of smart technologies on the passenger flow at the airport. A simulation performed in the model comparing manual, smart and hybrid configurations of the arrival border control is analyzed in this paper.

Airports worldwide are dealing with application of anti-epidemic measures, that lead to decreased capacity of airport terminals. Passengers are obliged to observe physical distancing and other rules, which in combination with longer service times at checks and controls lead to congestions in front of airport processors. This study aims to introduce new solutions for queue management at smart airports, that belong to the Smart Cities concept. The preliminary idea of buffer zones as waiting areas for passengers, that cannot be allowed to enter overcrowded areas, especially queues, brings new opportunities and benefits for both passengers and the airport. Based on performed simulations in the developed model, authors defined two types of buffer zones and determined the optimum time limit to distinguish between the two types of buffer zones. The paper brings theoretical and practical approach to use of buffer zones in real airport operations.

Due to the effects of therecentglobal pandemic, reduced air traffic and passenger numbers, aviation is experiencing significant changes inairport business models.Aviation is recovering rapidlyin 2022and is facing many operational challenges. The mostsignificant disturbances are caused bythe shortage of airport and ground handling staffresulting in queueing and overcrowding in particular airport areas. To mitigate the negative effects of these factors, there is aneed for optimization ofthe departingpassenger flowleading to improved airport operations and airport on-time performance.In this paper, we propose a newSmart City –Smart Airport interconnectionconceptwith utilization of virtual queueing technology, that addresses the current issues at airports. The solution would providedepartingpassengers with useful information including the most suitable arrival time at the airport to avoid extreme queueing. The airport might use the proposed solution to affect the arrival times of passengers to prevent overcrowding and creation of queues in airport terminals. This concept aims to bring opportunities and benefits tothe participants, such as passengers, airports, ground handling companies, airlines,andoperators of alternative collectors shifted into the urban infrastructure.

The current pandemic situation caused that airports need to adapt their operational processes to new health protection measures that include for example physical distancing, use of face masks or more detailed cleaning and disinfection of airport terminals. Airport infrastructure is usually not designed for the full application of physical distancing principles. A model and an application were created in order to simulate the expected space per person in the arriving corridors of the terminal according to the imported flight schedule. The output of the model allows calculating of the decrease of airport operational performance in case of implementation of physical distancing principles. The results of the model also help to improve the efficiency of the use of space in airport terminals.

Airports worldwide are evolving rapidly towards the Smart Airport concept, which brings many benefits to all stakeholders including passengers. The paper designs a new Smart Airport Service Layers Architecture (SASLA) that significantly supports the Airport 4.0 class of the current four-level classification methodology of airports. Demand Side System Services (DSSS) as a new essential idea delivered in this paper stand at the top of the Smart Airport Service Layers and make Airports 4.0 capable to negotiate with other smart components to provide new kind of services with benefits to all stakeholders. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) were identified as an appropriate instrument for services prioritization.
