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.

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.     

地铁车站超宽深基坑内既有高架桥梁桩基托换关键技术研究

佛山地铁2号线换乘车站张槎站基坑宽50.3 m,深16.9 m,局部位于既有禅西大道桥下（净高仅7 m）。为解决低矮空间下超宽深基坑支护、既有高架桥桩基托换等难题,提出如下技术措施： 1)采用高桩承台桩基托换技术对位于车站中央桥桩进行托换,托换承台高于车站基坑面,基坑内支撑穿过新旧桩基形成对撑,内支撑与新旧桩相对独立; 2)地下连续墙幅宽调整为4 m,采用小型钻机成槽,以改善桥下施工工艺; 3)地下连续墙与两侧既有桩之间增加防塌孔措施; 4)基坑内支撑均采用混凝土支撑并加临时立柱以增加内支撑稳定性。以上措施解决了托换体系与车站基坑相互影响的问题,确保了低矮空间下超宽深基坑施工安全及既有桩基的安全。经数值计算论证、现场施工验证,提出的超宽深基坑内既有高架桥梁桩基托换关键技术是合理、安全、可行的。     

沉管隧道基槽爆破开挖作用下邻近地铁隧道力学响应

为确保邻近地铁隧道在沉管隧道基槽爆破开挖过程的安全性,通过现场实测评价地铁隧道运营现状,借助数值分析法探索地铁隧道对沉管基槽爆破开挖的力学响应特征,并制定既有隧道结构的安全判据和沉管基槽爆破振动安全距离。研究表明： 既有地铁区间隧道现状累计最大沉降为1.89 mm,近半年最大沉降速率为0.01 mm/d,均小于规范规定的控制值,隧道结构现状处于稳定状态;沉管隧道基槽爆破振动引起的地铁隧道结构最大振速为0.359 cm/s,远小于振速安全阈值（2.0 cm/s）,说明地铁结构受爆破振动影响较小,且爆破振动的安全距离为25 m; 基槽开挖应力扰动后引起的地铁隧道累计最大沉降为3.16 mm,小于位移预警值,隧道结构处于稳定状态。

高水水中转比例下的自动化集装箱码头堆场装卸工艺方案比较

近年来,集装箱自动化码头基本形成了典型的堆场装卸工艺方案,即堆场整体垂直码头布置,每个箱区配备2台自动化轨道式场桥(ARMG),分别负责装卸船和陆路外集卡装卸相关作业。但在高水水中转比例的码头,由于船侧装卸箱量高于陆路进出港箱量,该方案存在海陆侧ARMG作业不均衡而影响装卸船效率的缺点。通过分析该方案在高水水中转比例码头的不适应性,梳理国内外现有的解决方案,提出新的针对性方案。通过各方案的综合比较,提出解决思路,为类似自动化码头的设计提供参考。
