Abstract

Airports play a strategic role in economic development of cities and provide connectivity between business and commercial centers. Taxicab operations play a crucial role in determining the overall efficiency of an airport's ground transportation system. However, airport-specific regulations pose challenges for managing taxicab operations effectively. The adoption of emerging technologies for managing taxicabs at airports offers faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective solutions to meet airport regulatory and operational requirements. In this case study, the operation of a central computerized taxicab dispatch system employed at John. F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport in New York City is evaluated to identify observed limitations and associated avenues for improvement. Based on a review of state-of-practice taxicab dispatch systems deployed in airports worldwide, this research illustrates how modern technologies and procedural changes can be applied to optimize the taxicab operations at JFK and similar airports.
