HOW AUTOMATION REVOLUTION AIRPORT OPERATION AND CAPACITY IN POST COVID-19 PERIOD. A CASE STUDY ON ANKARA ESENBOGA AIRPORT

Economics

Today, air transport is one of the most widely used means of transportation for high-speed transportation and freight. After this speed, endless technological advances, and change are made. Airlines, airport, and air traffic control systems, which are sub-air transport systems, are also experiencing these changes on a daily basis. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 hit hard airports - which could halt developments in emerging markets. As a result, air travel has dropped dramatically, causing airlines to reduce their volume. Many have been shut down by the government to prevent the spread of the virus. The result is a sharp decline in revenue. Given the importance of airports in the economic development of cities, countries, and regions, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the global economy is enormous. The adoption of touch less technologies at airports has increased the pre-epidemic epidemic and is now much faster in recovery time due to your infection control benefits in reducing the spread of the virus. According to the World Health Organization, hand-to-hand transmission is a major cause of viral infections. Compared to manual operation that requires hand-to-hand contact, untouched technology eliminates the contact area, reducing the chance of possible viral transmission. It is all about reducing contact between passengers and airport staff and eliminating the physical action of touching the area where the virus may be present. In this study, it aims to evaluate the pre- and post-COVID-19 service times and the flow of passengers at the airport in the airline, which is one of the sub-systems of air transport by adding automation systems, in a variety of contexts. Those conditions were adjusted in accordance with IATA standards for LoS and the estimated performance of independent systems. Those scenarios were modelled through the simulation program, assuming a change in the rates of use of the independent system before and after COVID-19. Also, those comparisons reflect the future impact and importance of automation systems on airport terminal flow by comparing the situation before and after COVID-19, with the assumption that the use of automation systems will increase in the post-COVID-19 system.
