Factors contributing to this increased time are examined and A comprehensive planning approach is proposed as a solution. Methods of collecting data on vehicle characteristics and transportation system elements are described. The system design process is illustrated using the recommended access plan for San Diego international airport as an example. Detailed information of the type, magnitude, location and duration of vehicle traffic associated with air passengers is required to develop an effective solution.
