Book Airline Passenger Security Screening

Download or read book Airline Passenger Security Screening written by Committee on Commercial Aviation Security and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-07-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses new technologies being considered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for screening airport passengers for concealed weapons and explosives. The FAA is supporting the development of promising new technologies that can reveal the presence not only of metal-based weapons as with current screening technologies, but also detect plastic explosives and other non-metallic threat materials and objects, and is concerned that these new technologies may not be appropriate for use in airports for other than technical reasons. This book presents discussion of the health, legal, and public acceptance issues that are likely to be raised regarding implementation of improvements in the current electromagnetic screening technologies, implementation of screening systems that detect traces of explosive materials on passengers, and implementation of systems that generate images of passengers beneath their clothes for analysis by human screeners.

Book The Evolution of Passenger Accessibility in the US Airline Industry  1980 2010

Download or read book The Evolution of Passenger Accessibility in the US Airline Industry 1980 2010 written by James Joseph Jenkins (M.C.P.) and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since deregulation, passenger air travel and the airline industry as a whole have changed dramatically. While most previous research has focused on the changes experienced by the airlines, this thesis seeks to understand the effects of industry changes on passenger accessibility. This work develops a methodology to quantitatively measure accessibility changes and then applies the methodology to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' DBIB dataset, a 10% sample of all tickets purchased in the United States. The analysis reviews changes in accessibility based on 4 measures: a new path quality measure, passenger volume, circuity, and fares at all continental US Primary and Commercial Service airports. The results indicate that between 1980 and 2010 accessibility declined in terms of path quality and circuity, but those declines were offset by accessibility increases in terms of lower fares which resulted in increased passenger volume. While the primary analysis was aggregated by FAA airport size classifications, the methodology can also be used at a regional scale. This is demonstrated through a case study of the 3 largest airports in the Boston region which have developed symbiotically despite having overlapping catchment areas. The results yield insights that would otherwise be missed in a higher level analysis and highlight the importance of regional analysis to understanding passenger accessibility. The thesis also uses the methodology and data to examine the effects of industry changes on rural communities by looking at the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes air service to rural communities. The analysis found that the program has performed well in terms of preserving rural air accessibility but that certain program regulations make the program financially inefficient. Several changes are proposed to improve the program's effectiveness and value to passengers. Finally, the analysis looks towards the future and the extension of this work as a foundation for thinking about how to improve passenger accessibility while dealing with the challenges facing the industry including financial instability, airport congestion, the potential for partial re-regulation, future changes in the network structure, and potential reduction in EAS funding.

Book A Comparative Evaluation of Air and Auto Travel Between Urban Regions  quantifying Intercity Modal Accessibility

Download or read book A Comparative Evaluation of Air and Auto Travel Between Urban Regions quantifying Intercity Modal Accessibility written by Brian L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic competitiveness of a region, in addition to the quality of life of its citizens, is dependent upon its accessibility to other regions. As the surface and air transportation systems evolve, it is important to explicitly measure the impact of transportation changes on a region0́9s accessibility. Therefore, the purpose of this research project is to develop a methodology to quantify intercity accessibility by mode, and to use this methodology to investigate the impact of air service changes in a region to its intercity accessibility.

Book Relating Rebellion to the Environment

Download or read book Relating Rebellion to the Environment written by Edward John Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A procedure is discussed by which one can test theories about the determinants of rebellion. This approach should be applicable to those nations that have experienced an insurgency and possess some data on the insurgency and the factors affecting it. The approach has been used in Vietnam and is now being applied to the post-war Huk uprising in the Philippines. It should also be applicable to Thailand.
