Airport terminal facilities continue to increase in size due to the trend of increasing demand at our nation%26apos;s regional and international airports. Airport operators have introduced various passenger conveyances including moving walkways, escalators, and elevators to reduce passenger walking distance and provide an acceptable level of service. This research is based on a data collection effort in various airports and depicts an empirical study on the use of passenger conveyance systems in airport terminals. A logistic regression approach was applied to estimate a passenger%26apos;s mode choice probability and to examine the relationship between passenger characteristics and their choice of automated conveyance systems in airport terminals.
