Abstract

The characteristics of door-to-door van service in the airport ground transportation system are analyzed. The evolution of airport ground transport is traced; the market niche of door-to-door service is delineated; and air passenger characteristics favoring door-to-door modes in general and door-to-door vans in particular are reviewed. A detailed intermodal comparison of vehicle kilometers (vehicle miles), person minutes, and user cost for air-traveling parties of various sizes using the six airport ground transport modes is presented. Management issues facing door-to-door van service managers are discussed, and information needs of the industry and future research needs are indicated.
