Modellering och Optimering av Early Baggage Storage på Stockholm Arlanda Airport Terminal 5 (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

This report was written in cooperation with Swedavia and aimed to examine and optimize the time before flight departure the chutes should open. Chutes are the last state before the baggage is transported to the plane. Currently, the chutes open two hours before departure. If baggage arrives while its corresponding chute is closed it will go to the Early Baggage System (EBS) where it will stay until two hours before departure. Afterward, the baggage will be transported to its corresponding chute. By reducing the time in the chute, the airport would utilize the EBS more efficiently and make the chutes available to more planes.

To examine the resilience of the system it was modeled and simulated in Matlab. The parameters that were used to simulate the model were taken from a data set provided by Swedavia. The conclusion is that there's a possibility for higher utilization of the EBS by lowering the allotted times of chutes per flight and thereby freeing capacity in the makeup sector. This should be further investigated to see the effects of additional processes in the baggage handling system.

Abstract [sv]

Denna rapport skrevs i samarbete med Swedavia och syftar till att undersöka och optimera tiden innan avgång som utsorteringsfickorna bör öppna. Utsorteringsfickorna är det sista stadiet innan bagaget transporteras till planet. I dagsläget öppnar utsorteringsfickorna två timmar innan avgång. Om bagaget anländer mer än två timmar innan avgång så hamnar väskan i Early Baggage System (EBS). Där kommer väskan att stanna tills det är två timmar till avgång och sedan transporteras till den korresponderande utsorteringsfickan. Genom att minska tiden som bagaget spenderar i utsorteringsfickan skulle flygplatsen kunna utnyttja EBS:en mer effektivt och göra utsorteringsfickor mer tillgängliga för fler plan. 

För att undersöka systemets resiliens så modellerades systemet för att sedan simuleras i Matlab. Parametrarna som användes för att simulera modellen estimerades ifrån ett data set som Swedavia tillhandahöll. Slutsatsen från simuleringen var att det är möjligt att använda EBS mer effektivt genom att minska tiden i utsorteringsfickorna. Man bör därmed undersöka vidare för att se effekterna på det resterande bagagehanteringssystemet.
