This model functions in the same manner as the other spreadsheet models with links to the Table of Contents and the User's Guide, and the use of color-coded cells as seen in Figure 80. The first section in this model is a random flight arrival time example that adjusts a group of five flights by as much as 15 minutes early or late and runs a mini-queue model on each of 10 iterations to determine (1)

The queue model assigned to this bank of flights randomly adjusts the arrival time by up to 15 minutes early or late for each of the input flights. With the load factor and unload rate entered, the queue model will determine when and how fast the passengers disembark from the flights and proceed to primary processing.

; so, under the input conditions in this example the existing queue depth is satisfactory. The next section in this model allows the user to look at a single sample international flight arrival and run a queue model to estimate wait times and queue size requirements.

From page 69... ...
CBP recommends a 50-foot minimum queue depth for smaller airports, and a 75-foot queue depth for larger airports, but the actual depth should be a function of the peak number of passengers forecast to be in the queue and the LOS assumed. Separate queues are required for U.S.

Because of delays that may occur during primary processing, checked bags are often at the claim unit before the passengers arrive. In Figure 85, the next section in the model uses a probability bag-matching model to estimate the time a claim unit will be in use and how much linear frontage will be required for a specific demand load.

After primary inspection, passengers proceed to international baggage claim. The approach in sizing baggage claim for an FIS is similar to that for a domestic baggage claim.
