• Abstract:
  This study examines the access to the BWI Airport in detail. Complex density functions are utilized to determine the ; congestion curves faced by passengers arriving at the airport. It is found that all lots have congestion during peak ; periods and that this congestion approaches levels where marginal entry access times are greatly accelerating. The lots ; that are most susceptible to this phenomenon are the satellite lots and the terminal roadway for drop-off passengers. ; The results highlight the importance of using figures other than the average access time in determining the impact of ; congestion on terminal access times. The passengers susceptible to congestion arrive at the terminal much more ; slowly than the difference in the average access times would indicate.
