Modeling and analyzing the performance of aviation security systems using baggage value performance measures. (English) Zbl 0987.90096

From the summary: This paper introduces performance measures in which each selectee bag is assigned an individual value. In particular, the flight segment baggage value assigns a value to each selectee bag based upon the proportion of the flight segment that the bag covers. The passenger segment baggage value assigns a value to each selectee bag based on the proportion of the passenger segments that the bag covers. For each of these measures, an associated decision problem and integer programming model are introduced. In addition, several results are presented detailing both optimization techniques for the models associated with each measure and the relationships between the baggage value measures and other baggage screening security system measures. A real-world example using actual flight data from the official airline guide is presented to illustrate an application of these models and results.
