Determinants of airport retail revenue: a review of literature

ABSTRACT

As the airport retail industry continues to grow due to increasing travel demands, airport operators are increasingly developing their retail revenue potential to ensure financial viability. This study aims to provide a review of airport retail literature and identify the salient factors associated with passenger shopping behaviour. The paper presents a review of contemporary airport retail literature, covering a total of 50 studies from 1998 to 2018. The review identified 26 factors, which could broadly be grouped into five categories: airport/operator related; passengers' demographic related; passengers’ travel related; passengers’ psychological related and passengers’ resources related. In addition to providing a summary of the statistically significant factors across studies, the review identifies and discusses potential approaches for future research. These include the importance of considering both “to spend or not” decision and how much to spend and how most empirical studies focussed on the former; the gap in empirical analysis on the impact of airport terminal design layout on retail performance; and the gap in application of general consumer shopping behavioural models to airport retail problems. The paper concludes with the suggestion that we can build on the existing studies to develop a hybrid approach to solve several of the identified gaps simultaneously.     

客货滚装码头减排设计方案评价方法

提出一种客货滚装码头减排设计方案评价方法。在综合考虑成本属性、环境属性、社会属性构建方案评价指标体系的基础上,引入层次分析法和加权TOPSIS法对客货滚装码头减排设计方案进行综合评价,并以某拟建客货滚装码头为例验证方法的有效性。结果表明,算例中各方案在评价模型下具有良好的区分度,方案从优到劣为岸电、低硫柴油和陆基洗涤器。该减排设计方案评价方法可为客货滚装码头减排设计方案优选提供决策支持。

面向复杂环境的LNG码头合理布局规模仿真案例分析

LNG船舶通过限制性航道进出港时须采取一定的管控措施,具有显著的排他性,布局LNG码头时须确定合理的码头规模,以保障港区各类船舶通航效率。基于多智能体复杂系统的混合模拟仿真建模方法,以宁波舟山港六横港区南侧岸线新布局LNG码头研究为例,建立不同的仿真情境,通过设定的指标进行评价分析,研判在一定通航管控措施条件下六横港区南侧LNG码头合理布局规模,为港口码头布局和岸线合理利用提供决策依据。     

复杂载荷下裂纹SIF计算的子模型技术

对船舶与海洋工程结构物进行疲劳评估,首先要通过子模型技术解决复杂应力场中裂纹应力强度因子(SIF)的计算问题。针对子模型技术实现过程繁杂且效率较低的问题,分别提出"逐周分层法","转换矩阵法"及"映射划分法"并基于VBA及APDL语言编写插件MPCarrangerV1.0,FEMcoortransferV1.0及CrackmapperV1.0,解决从Patran整体有限元模型到Ansys子模型时壳体单元间MPC创建低效、不同坐标系间节点位置转换困难及裂纹自由划分的局限性问题。基于DNV及ABS相关规范,以某B型LNG燃料舱的疲劳热点为例,对改进的子模型技术进行验证,结果表明经改进的子模型技术可成功施加合理边界条件并实现SIF的求解,可为子模型技术快速实现复杂载荷下裂纹SIF的准确计算提供参考。     

Simulation-based severe weather-induced container terminal economic loss estimation

Container terminals play a critical role in maritime supply chains. However, they show vulnerabilities to severe weather events due to the sea–land interface locations. Previous severe weather risk analysis focused more on larger assessment units, such as regions and cities. Limited studies assessed severe weather risks on a smaller scale of seaports. This paper aims to propose a severe weather-induced container terminal loss estimation framework. Based on a container terminal operation simulation model, monthly average loss and single event-induced loss are obtained by using historical hazard records and terminal operation records as model inputs. By studying the Port of Shenzhen as the case study, we find that the fog events in March lead to the longest monthly port downtime and the highest monthly severe weather-induced economic losses in the studied port. The monthly average loss is estimated to be 30 million USD, accounting for 20% of the intact income. The worst-case scenario is found to be a red-signal typhoon attack which results in nearly 20% decrease in the month’s income. The results provide useful references for various container terminal stakeholders in severe weather risk management.     

Effects of passenger characteristics and terminal layout on airport retail revenue: an agent-based simulation approach

This paper examines the effect of passenger characteristics and terminal layout on airport retail revenue using an agent-based simulation approach. Simulation results show that passenger mix (that is, the mix of shopper types according to a typology of airport shoppers) has a profound effect on airport retail revenue; the larger the number of ‘shopping lovers’ there are among passengers, the higher the airport retail revenue. Results also reveal that group travel can lead to negative effects on retail in certain terminal layouts, and that the amount of free dwell time that a passenger has can affect spending due to less retail engagement. This paper shows a combined effect of passenger characteristics and terminal layout on airport retail revenue, and discusses the implications of these results for future airport terminal design that aims to maximise retail potential.
