Study on the coupling effect of airport land-side traffic and passenger radiation range

Abstract

The insufficiency of the development of airport land-side transportation has limited the radiation range of airport passengers to a certain extent. As a way to realize the connection of land and air transportation, airport land-side transportation has become an important order parameter to promote the expansion of the radiation range of airport passengers. Using the basic concepts of coupling and coupling degree, this paper constructs a coupling system of airport land-side traffic-airport passenger radiation range. Focusing on the two major subsystems of land-side traffic and radiation range, a corresponding evaluation index system is established. Meanwhile, the major airports in Shaanxi Province and Anhui Province are taken as examples to realize the quantitative development process of the coupling development process of airport land-side traffic and airport passenger radiation range. According to the results, in the early stage of airport development, passengers with aviation needs drive the development of airport land-side traffic, and for those with the gradual improvement of land-side traffic, the radiation range of airport passengers is also reversely expanded. Besides, the the two can develop in the direction of benign coupling.

Modeling Airport Choice Using a Latent Class Logit Model

“…Trojanek [10] analyzed the impact of aircraft noise on the value of housing near Warsaw Chopin Airport in Poland, highlighting the role of negative externalities of air traffic on the perception and valuation of the airport by the nearby community. Gupta et al [11] developed a model to understand and forecast the response of air passengers to changes in ground access times and costs, along with changes in airport service, while He and Liu [12] took the research a step further by investigating the coupling effect between airport ground traffic and the extent of passenger radiation, a concept that encompasses the ability of an airport to attract passengers from a given geographic area. Mishra et al [13] used nearby airports with high-quality long-term observations of hourly precipitation as surrogates for nearby urban areas.…”
