Performance Evaluation of a Risk-based Three-tier Inspection System

Abstract


The simulation model of a risk-based three-tier inspection system is presented in the paper for the security management of screening passengers. In this study, passengers are classified to three risk classes (Trusted class, Regular class, and Risky class) based on their assessed risk level. A hybrid simulation model is developed to simulate the passengers' behavior from the moment they enter the inspection system until they leave the system. We study the performance evaluation of the proposed inspection system through an Arena simulation platform. The sensitivity analysis from a series of our numerical experiments shows the managerial effect of the model parameters on two performance measures in terms of passengers' average waiting time and the overall safety level.
