A -- PASSENGER BAGGAGE FLOW MODEL TOOL SOL DTFA03-95-R-00042 DUE 092895 POC FRANK KOSKER, CONTRACT SPECIALIST, 609-485-6911. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FAA Technical Center, has a requirement for the development of a Passenger Baggage Flow Model (PBFM) Tool. The purpose of the PBFM is to analyze the dynamic behavior of landside queuing in realistic airport environments to pinpoint the operational impacts of security systems. The PBFM will support the replication of an existing airport and simulate the processes, passengers, and baggage flow within the terminal. The tool will model alternative airport and security screening configurations and procedures so that operational impacts can be compared and evaluated. The primary PFBM Tool objectives are summarized as follows: a. Graphically depict floor plans of an existing airport and model the processes through which passengers and baggage flow within the terminal. b. Enable user to analyze the dynamic behavior of queues that may form in the airport with an emphasis on security screening stations; and c. Optimize airport security by identifying those configurations that achieve a high level of security with minimal operational impact and compare and evaluate the cost benefits of each configuration. This is a full and open competition procurement. The Solicitation/Request For Proposal number is DTFA03-95-R-00042. Anyone interested in submitting a cost/technical proposal for this requirement must submit their request in writing to: Frank Kosker, FAA Technical Center, Contracts Section, ACT-131, Atlantic City International Airport, NJ 08405. Please state the Solicitation Number in your written Request For Proposal. (0222)
