Analysis of research related to the experience of creating innovative airports focusing on multimodal passenger transportation

Abstract

Multimodal transportation is becoming the new norm. The center of providing the transportation process is changing from the vehicle to the passenger experience and related services provided. Multimodal transportation is becoming an important player in transportation systems because it can facilitate high-quality intermodal transportation. However, these innovative transportations are not yet widespread enough. The paper is devoted to the analysis of the experience of using theoretical and practical aspects of the use of multimodal transportation in innovative airport hubs, the search for means of integrating multimodality into the transport hub, the evaluation and selection of new alternative ways of determining the level of integration of various participants in the transport process. The study is aimed at studying the previous experience of using hub airports as multimodal transport hubs. The experience of combining several transport modes into one large transport hub with a diverse range of services indicates unconditional competitive advantages. However, hub airports have some features that create difficulties when transitioning to multimodal transport complexes. The paper examines the theoretical foundations of the use and integration of alternative airport hubs at hub airports. In particular, how to evaluate and select new alternative methods, how to determine the appropriate level of participation at different stages and how to integrate new methods into airport hubs in future studies. The proposed approach to the organization of airport hubs, overcoming obstacles on the way to the creation of a multimodal transport complex and solving a scientific and applied problem that will successfully contribute to innovations in the transport modality. In particular, a growing demand among passengers at airports to facilitate the transfer process from one type of transport to another has been revealed. Which leads to benefits and rapid adoption of innovations in airports. The importance of theoretical research lies in identifying the growing demand for multimodal transport complexes, infrastructure development and customer service at airports.
