A new domestic passenger points layout method of some normally operating city on the regular COVID-19 prevention and control stage

ABSTRACT

The domestic passenger points layout method of some normally operating city was analyzed in this paper by introducing potential point importance on the regular COVID-19 prevention and control stage. In the case of the abnormal operation scenario of a sudden COVID-19 epidemic in a certain place in the future, a normal operating city with a transport airport in China is taken as the research object, focusing on all the potential destination cities in China. This paper comprehensively considers the key influencing factors such as epidemic prevention and control policy, comprehensive transport demand and comparative advantage of civil aviation, and puts forward the destination importance index to quantitatively evaluate the layout order of each potential destination. Following the qualitative layout principle of the combination of important priority and balanced development, a "two-step" domestic passenger points layout method is established. The empirical analysis shows that for a city owning 30 domestic passenger points in China, within one month after the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic in Shenyang, Yingkou and Hefei, 10 new domestic passenger points are added to achieve the development goal of domestic passenger route network, and the "two-step" domestic passenger points layout method is feasible and effective. © 2021 SPIE
