Abstract
This paper proposed a scheme design for Sydney’s frontport check-in system, which completes check-in and baggage drop-off at Sydney’s Circular Quay, and transports the baggage to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport by waterway, and provided a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis of Sydney’s frontport check-in system. Using the process method of quality management, the frontport check-in process was divided into three sub-processes: baggage consignment, baggage packing and transportation, and airport baggage handling. The eight key elements of each sub-process such as input, output, resources, and methods, etc. were discussed, the key factors influencing the cost of baggage transportation were analyzed, and the cost control measures such as adopting economic speed, reducing fuel consumption of the main engine, improving the ship loading rate, and raising loading and unloading efficiency were proposed. At the same time, two different types of baggage transportation ships and other parameters that affect the cost such as the number of berths, ships, lifting machineries, and the yard area were analyzed and calculated through calculation cases. This scheme is a beneficial addition to the existing in-town check-in system.
Highlights
In-town check-in (ITCI for short) means that passengers can check in their baggage outside the airport and in designated places in the city
Sustainability 2021, 13, 3850 was analyzed, the waterway transportation scheme of Sydney’s frontport check-in system was developed, including baggage consignment, baggage packing and transportation and airport baggage handling, etc., and some measures were put forward such as using economic speed, improving the loading rate of ships, loading and unloading efficiency, and reducing the yard area and the number of berths and ships on the route, etc. to decrease the transportation cost of baggage
The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of implementing the Sydney’s frontport check-in system through air-waterway intermodality was studied by SWOT analysis, and we proposed a design scheme for Sydney’s frontport check-in system
Summary
In-town check-in (ITCI for short) means that passengers can check in their baggage outside the airport and in designated places in the city It reduces the burden of passenger travel, saves passengers’ time in queues and check-in at the airport, improves the customer experience, and achieves “freehand travel”; on the other hand, it avoids airport congestion, and expands the accessibility and service area of the airport and stimulates the use of public transportation.
