The Importance of Human Factors When Designing Airport Terminals Integrating Automated Modes of Transit

The fast-paced advancement of ground transportation methods such as connected and autonomous vehicles makes it difficult for professionals to design infrastructure, which includes airports. Due to the amplified variability in both transportation modes and demographics, planners must consider the best alternative, which will service all of their users while integrating an autonomous system. This paper describes mobility activities at the interface between ground transportation and airport terminal, characteristics of automation in airport access, and planning and design requirements with a focus on human factors. Knowledge gaps are identified. A human factors study is introduced for understanding characteristics and behaviour of users of landside facility. This paper aims to assist planners and designers in considering human factors when planning for autonomous systems in airport terminals; specifically focusing on pick up and drop off zones.
