The numerical simulation analysis of the two groups of fullscale complex tubular joints of the Beijing New Airport Terminal C type steel column under space static loading tests has been conducted by adopting software ABAQUS. The results obtained from the numerical simulation analysis consistent with those from the tests which enriched the research findings. Based on the research, mechanical performance of the joints has been carried out, the failure modes and ultimate bearing capacity of the joints with no stiffening ribs, three stiffening ribs and five stiffening ribs has been obtained. The numerical simulation results showed that, the bearing capacity of the joints without stiffening ribs were relatively low, the plastic failure of the main pipe was the major form of the destruction and the safety performance were too poor to meet the actual needs of the project. The bearing capacity of the joints significantly improved with the stiffening ribs set inside and the destruction changed to the connection of the main tubular and the branch, which means that the stress of the joints has been obviously improved by the setting of the stiffening ribs and was able to meet the needs of Beijing New Airport Terminal C type column. Through the comparative analysis of the stiffening ribs setting, it can be found that the bearing capacity of the joints were similar between the three and five stiffening ribs, considering the construction difficulty and economic benefits, three stiffening ribs has been selected as the final optimization result.

Emergency evacuation of large passenger station passenger terminal operations management is an important part of management. In this paper, it use legion simulation software, on the Beijing South Railway Station passenger emergency evacuation simulation test, first introduced the Legion simulation software and simulation process, followed by the design of the total number of 5000 and 10,000 people in different device configurations evacuation simulation program; re-use simulation software legion For each program the simulation analysis, the number of the simulation program evacuation and evacuation density optimization Finally, emergency evacuation measures and proposals for the reasonable development of passenger flow planning and organization of decision support programs.

We focus on the spatiotemporal characteristics and their evolvement law of the air traffic flow in airport terminal area to provide scientific basis for optimizing flight control processes and alleviating severe air traffic conditions. Methods in this work combine mathematical derivation and simulation analysis. Based on cell transmission model the macroscopic models of arrival and departure air traffic flow in terminal area are established. Meanwhile, the interrelationship and influential factors of the three characteristic parameters as traffic flux, density, and velocity are presented. Then according to such models, the macro emergence of traffic flow evolution is emulated with the NetLogo simulation platform, and the correlativity of basic traffic flow parameters is deduced and verified by means of sensitivity analysis. The results suggest that there are remarkable relations among the three characteristic parameters of the air traffic flow in terminal area. Moreover, such relationships evolve distinctly with the flight procedures, control separations, and ATC strategies.

Discretionary activities such as retail, food, and beverages generate a significant amount of non-aeronautical revenue within the aviation industry. However, they are rarely taken into account in computational airport terminal models. Since discretionary activities affect passenger flow and global airport terminal performance, discretionary activities need to be studied in detail. Additionally, discretionary activities are influenced by other airport terminal processes, such as check-in and security. Thus, discretionary activities need to be studied in relation to other airport terminal processes. The aim of this study is to analyze discretionary activities in a systemic way, taking into account interdependencies with other airport terminal processes and operational strategies used to manage these processes. An agent-based simulation model for airport terminal operations was developed, which covers the main handling processes and passenger decision-making with discretionary activities. The obtained simulation results show that operational strategies that reduce passenger queue time or increase passenger free time can significantly improve global airport terminal performance through efficiency, revenue, and cost.
