  • Optimization of Airport Shuttle Bus Routes Based on Travel Time Reliability
    Hindawi Mathematical Problems in Engineering Volume 2018, Article ID 2369350, 12 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2018/2369350 Research Article Optimization of Airport Shuttle Bus Routes Based on Travel Time Reliability Danwen Bao , Jiayu Gu, Zhiwei Di, and Tianxuan Zhang Collage of Civil Aviation, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China Correspondence should be addressed to Danwen Bao; [email protected] Received 8 January 2018; Accepted 22 March 2018; Published 30 April 2018 Academic Editor: Dylan F. Jones Copyright © 2018 Danwen Bao et al. Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. An optimization model of airport shuttle bus routes is constructed by taking operational reliability maximization as a main goal in this paper. Also, a hybrid genetic algorithm is designed to solve this problem. Ten the theoretical method is applied to the case of Nanjing Lukou International Airport. During the research, a travel time reliability estimation method is proposed based on back propagation (BP) neural network. Absolute error and regression ftting methods are used to test the measurement results. It is proved that this method has higher accuracy and is applicable to calculate airport bus routes reliability. In algorithm design, the hill-climbing algorithm with strong local search ability is integrated into genetic algorithm. Initial solution is determined by hill- climbing algorithm so as to avoid the search process falling into a local optimal solution, which makes the accuracy of calculation result improved.

  • Arrival Info
    ETAPS 2012 participant arrival info Getting from airport to town The city is 4 kms from the airport and you reach it by taxi, shuttle or scheduled bus. The shuttle (shared taxi) service runs to central hotels. There is a desk of the company just outside the customs clearance exit door. The ticket costs 7 EUR. Check their website. The suitable buses lines are no. 2 and 90K (timetables). Bus no. 2 runs throughout the day (from early hours until quite late in the evening). You are travelling from “Lennujaam” (Airport) in the direction of “Reisisadam” (Passenger Port). The most centrally located stop in the city center is “A. Laikmaa” in front of Hotel Tallink, the travel time there is 13 min. Sat-Sun 24-25 March public transport in Tallinn (incl. bus line no. 2) is free due to a city government campaign. Bus no. 90K is a special airport bus. It departs from the airport at every full and half hour between 7.30 and 18.30 (so does not run early in the morning and late in the evening - which is when you would most likely need it). There are many central stops. Bus no. 90K is NOT part of the general public transportation ticket system of Tallinn. The ticket costs 2 EUR. The stops for bus lines from the airport to the city are on the lower floor of the airport. And of course you can take a taxi. The taxi rank is on the same level as the arrivals hall. When choosing a taxi in Tallinn, be careful.

  • Transportation in Lima
    Transportation in Lima From / To Airport: Many hotels offer shuttles to and from the airport. Check with your hotel for availability and cost. If your hotel does not offer a shuttle, you may want to take a taxi from the airport to your hotel. There are some taxi and limousine services offered after you pass the customs area and before you enter the main hall. These are usually more expensive. There is also a Green Taxi company that you can hire inside the Airport building. Its booth is located near the customs door after you enter the main hall. In this case you pay your fare at the booth and not to the driver. Taxis usually accept only cash and are not metered, so you should agree on the fare before getting leaving (should be about S/. 60-80). Another option is to take the airport bus (it costs around 8 US$ or between 20- 30 soles). The buses usually leave the airport at an interval of 30 minutes, and stop at some of the main hotels located in the Miraflores district. Check schedules, fares and bus stops in their web-page: https://www.airportexpresslima.com/es/ General City Transportation: There are several options for transportation within the city of Lima. The easiest and fastest option will be a taxi. Most fares range between 10 and 30 soles, depending on the distance to your destination. The cheapest fare is 5 soles. An affordable option for longer trips across the city is the Sistema Integrado de Transporte (SIT, bus system). Read about how to use the SIT here: http://www.protransporte.gob.pe/index.php/corredores- complementarios/corredores From / To PUCP Campus There are many options to come and go to the PUCP Campus.
