Objective: In this sense, the present study aimed to understand, describe and analyze the sanitary practice adopted on the face of Influenza A (H1N1) Pandemic in 2009, by the Health Surveillance Agency in the passengers arrival gates of Guarulhos Airport. Methodology: The qualitative research was adopted in this study, using as a theoretical reference the social representations. In this document it was used the referral method of Hermeneutic Dialectic, using the interpretation of the interviews. It was built three empirics categories, which allowed retrieving in the interviews the practical experience of the employees of the Health Surveillance during the Pandemic period. Outcomes: It could be learnt that the difficulties during the A H1N1 Pandemic was related to the human resources, physical and material infrastructure and the process and information flows. Conclusion: The outcomes emphasized the way the Health Surveillance works directly linked to its organizational structure; its behavior, aligned with the current Brazil situation; and the experience which was a unique test of how they face the Influenza pandemic

In the first study, we formulate the passenger and cargo allocation problem as a variant of the price-dependent multi-item newsvendor model with capacity constraints. The effects of baggage weight, pricing, and costing on the number of passengers and amount of cargo carried are studied. Based on the model and the existing practice of carriers, we develop several illustrative cases and fend that to maximize profit, large aircraft may need to reduce their baggage limits significantly from the current policy. / In the second study, we propose the dynamic partnership concept, which assures a feasible partnership in an online logistics community. After identifying the platform requirements, a preliminary knowledge framework which describes the collaborative knowledge and new knowledge managing approaches is suggested. / In the third study, we provide a two-phase framework for an airfreight forwarder's resource planning. In each timed phase, an optimization model first determines the aggregates and a simulation model then examines the disaggregated situations evaluating whether the aggregate estimates are viable under disaggregation and uncertainties. Here, a set of measurements are established to evaluate the performance of a resource plan. For the inadequate plans, areas of possible improvements are identified for revision. / Three studies in air cargo logistics are conducted respectively, covering the following three areas: carrier's passenger and cargo management, logistics service provider's partnership strategy, and an airfreight forwarder's resource planning. / study 1.

O presente trabalho apresenta uma metodologia para avaliação operacional de intervenções no lado aéreo de aeroportos, englobando pátios de aeronaves, pistas de táxi, pistas de pouso e espaço aéreo adjacente. Para tanto, foram identificadas na literatura as principais ferramentas computacionais para análise da capacidade e atraso, dentre as quais o SIMMOD - Airport and Airspace Simulation Model, mostrou-se mais adequado, sendo então selecionado com o pacote de interface gráfica Visual SIMMOD. A metodologia desenvolvida, associando a abordagem sistêmica ao emprego de técnicas de simulação, foi aplicada ao Aeroporto Internacional de São Paulo/Guarulhos (Governador André Franco Montoro). O primeiro passo foi a modelagem e simulação das operações de aeronaves com a infra-estrutura atual do aeroporto, denominada baseline ou modelo base, que foi validado com dados reais de operação. A partir deste modelo foram estabelecidos procedimentos de análise e controle para permitir a avaliação de alternativas com incorporação de novos cenários e incremento de dados. Esses procedimentos, que incluem a utilização de modelos analíticos e envelopes de capacidade na preparação de dados de entrada, comparação gráfica da movimentação na pista, da ocupação das posições de pátio, da composição dos tempos médios de operação e dos acréscimos de demanda a fim de se obter a capacidade prática, entre outros, formam a metodologia proposta. Os resultados obtidos permitiram caracterizar o desempenho do sistema, fornecendo subsídios para a escolha de alternativas. A metodologia mostrou-se adequada para análises sistemáticas de problemas dessa natureza. / This paper describes a methodology for airport airside operational evaluation involving simulation models. It deals with apron gates, taxiways, runways and part of the aerodrome traffic zone (approach and initial departure paths) modifications and improvements. Among several computational tools for airport capacity and delay analysis, SIMMOD - Airport and Airspace Simulation Model with Visual SIMMOD data preparation toolkit was chosen as the tool for the methodology development. The proposed methodology framework was outlined associating system approach and simulation techniques and then applied to São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport as a case study. A baseline scenario with current airport infrastructure was modeled, simulated and validated with actual operational data. The developed methodology consists in analysis procedures and controls that allow scenarios evaluation, including analytical models, capacity curves, graphical comparisons (runway movements, gate occupation, travel times and delays) and demand increasing to reach practical capacity. Based on the created scenarios outcomes it was possible to describe the system performance, indicating better solutions. The proposed methodology was found appropriate for systematic analyses of this type of problem.

"This paper analyzes the decision making processes in the federal system through a case study, that of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport controversy, and reveals the role of the many governments and interest groups involved. ...In this study the background of conflict is reviewed, after which the CAB [Civil Aeronautics Board] decision, accomplishments and problems are discussed. The presentation will reflect the cooperative role of all governments in the federal system, plus pressure groups that contribute to decision-making in the federal system."-- leaves 2,13.

<p>The ‘Hierarchical structure for airport service quality expectations’ model originally comes from theory of service quality assessment and was created by Fodness and Murray in 2007 after a study at six U.S. airports. It reveals the most important factors that comprise service quality. This thesis tested the model in a Swedish context with an empirical study among passengers at two Swedish airports; Arlanda and Umeå. With the help of literature, the empirical study, and reasoning, the original model has been modified by the authors of this thesis. There are minor modifications but the three main factors remain as they were in the original model, namely function, interaction, and diversion.</p>

Although not often discussed in planning curriculum across the United States, airports are a very significant part of the country’s transportation infrastructure. With so much emphasis placed on ground transportation modes such as light rail, bus, and bike, the impact of aviation on the transportation world gets lost in translation. This study seeks to bring airport planning back into the conversation by analyzing population projections, income, and industry and their affect on airport preparedness to meet increasing population demands. By using population projections through 2035 for the State of Texas, gross population and population growth rates were used to select counties within Texas that may be most in need of airport planning considerations. Counties along the Texas-Mexico border were analyzed in further detail for planning considerations and preparedness based on their population growth rates. Hidalgo County’s McAllen-Miller International Airport (MFE) was found to be proactively seeking changes to their airfield that matched recommendations based on their population increase. However, the level of coordination with city or county level authorities is lacking. / text
