LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 3
LAX TOM BRADLEY QUANTITATIVE REPORT
Introduction
In 2011, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) ranked 6th on the busiest airport
worldwide list (ACI, 2011), serving the second most populated metropolitan area in the United
States (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). The report released by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)
in January of this year further supports the ranking with 61,862,052 LAX passengers in 2011 of
which, 27.05 % accounts for international travelers. Additionally, the report showed a 4.9
percent growth on International traffic compared to 4.6 percent growth in domestic passengers.
With the increase in passenger traffic and aging facilities, LAX officials had been
working on updating the airport by looking at various opportunities for modernization and
expansion. However, limited space, economic downturn, community indifference, environmental
impacts, and safety concerns are some of the many challenges that airport officials need to
address in order to improve service, expand airport space, meet passenger expectations for
innovative and modernized airport facility. Collaborative efforts with various stakeholders and
project studies are being conducted with the primary objective of meeting increasing demand for
an updated, more organized and less congested airport.
Utilizing the data provided by LAWA and the observations gathered by the group
members, this report will attempt to find some explanations as to where and why there is
congestion, and what types of vehicles create most traffic and or takes most time to load/unload
passengers. Additionally, the numbers and types of vehicles stopping and passing by, why some
travelers prefer taxi cabs over other modes of transportation, how their choices of transportations
are affected by the purpose of their trips, and most importantly the reasons why Tom Bradley
International was the terminal choice of the team to focus on.
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 4
Methodology
The first step taken by the group was to choose the terminal at LAX that services most
number of airline carrier. This information was extracted from the LAWA 2011 report posted on
its website. Data showed that Tom Bradley International Airport terminal ranked first with 31
carriers and accounts for 8,635,397 out of the total 16,731,324 (equivalent to 51.61 %)
international passengers in 2011. It was therefore decided that Tom Bradley would be the choice
to focus on. The group members then proceeded to gather observations through survey
instruments in paper and oral interviews and ocular observations. The loading and unloading
time for taxi, shuttles and private cars were taken, the number and type of cars stopping and
passing by Tom Bradley terminal were counted. Paper and oral surveys were also conducted.
The lengths of loading and unloading time of vehicles were observed on November 11, 2012,
between 16:00 to 17:00, and on November 16, 2012, between 10:00 to 11:00, and on November
18, 2012, between 10:00 to 12:00. The data collected were translated to statistically with the use
of different techniques learned in the class such as the Binomial distribution, ANOVA test, F-test
and Inferences about Pairs of Treatment Means. The results and analyses of the test results are
presented in narrative, charts, tables, and box plots.
Our hypothesis is that larger group of travelers tend to take other types of transportation
such as private vehicles, shuttle, or limo and that smaller group of travelers such as a single
person traveling alone or with one other person would take a cab. Essentially we want to know
the number of people in any given cab ride.
A key question we seek to answer is whether or not all taxis leave LAX with at least one
passenger riding in it. Also, what is the likelihood that a party of two or more would not take a
cab ride and would instead take a shuttle or private vehicle or any other forms of transportation?
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 5
Furthermore, in terms of capacity, we seek to find the number of vehicles coming through LAX
and if the average passenger per vehicle that leaves LAX is 3 to 5.
The way we set up our data points are in three categories. Our original data observes 50
random samples of vehicles making a stopping at the departure terminal of Tom Bradley to drop
off travelers. Of those 50 vehicles, we classified them as taxi and non-taxi. The non-taxi category
includes private vehicles, shuttle, limos, rental cars, etc. Furthermore, a survey was conducted
with the following questions on each observation:
1. Are you a local to Los Angeles or are you a visitor to Los Angeles? 2. Are you
traveling on business of for leisure? Finally, each observation has a travel party size to aid in our
hypothesis of travel size effect on choice of transportation.
Each taxi that leaves the airport is reportedly leaving with at least one passenger. We did
our study based on an assumption that shuttle services are for larger parties and those who did
not take a taxi, meaning that they were dropped off by a family or friends personal vehicle, used
a shuttle, or limo services, seeking to find the outcome that travel party size of these travelers
were different.
To test our hypothesis, we conducted an analysis of variance to compare the average
mean of one category to the mean of another category. The level of significance used for these
tests were .05 and consistency for all three tests. This means that the analysis of variance is under
the assumption that it is the same average. For example, if the average people in a taxi are two,
than we assume whether they take a taxi or not. What we are assuming is that the population is
the same unless we get results that show otherwise. For this reason assume the same average and
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 6
same standard deviation. Our conclusion will be based on if they are far enough apart that we can
say that they are different.
Analysis
ANOVA Analysis on party size taking taxi cab
Our findings show that there is no significant difference between party size of people that
took a cab to the Tom Bradley airport to catch their departure flight and the people that chose
some other form of transportations (shuttle or was dropped off by a family member). The level of
significance is calculated on a .05 level. The analysis gave an F statistic of 0.48 with a F critical
of 4.04. Since the F statistic is less than F critical we fail to reject the null hypothesis, which
means that the variance is insignificant and could be a result of sampling error. Furthermore, this
means that it is so insignificant that the size of the party does not influence decision on what
form of transportation a traveler will chose to arrive at the Tom Bradley international terminal to
catch a departure flight.
ANOVA Analysis on passenger profiles
In looking at Tom Bradley departures on Sunday, November 18 between the hours of
10am and 12pm with a sample size of 50, we observed that 34 took a taxi and 33 took some
other form of transportation in getting to the airport to catch their departure flights. Of the
travelers who were locals and the travelers who were visitors, those choosing to leave LAX, their
party size was not much difference than those who did not take a cab as transportation.
Similarly, the level of significance is calculated on a .05 level, this analysis shows that
the calculated alpha is much higher. The analysis gave an F statistic of 0.004 with a F critical of
3.98. Since the F statistic is less than F critical we fail to reject the null hypothesis, which means
that the variance is insignificant and could be a result of sampling error. Furthermore, this means
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 7
that it is so insignificant that the size of the party doesn’t influence decision on what form of
transportation a traveler will chose to arrive at the Tom Bradley international terminal to catch a
departure flight regardless is if they are local to Los Angeles or if they were visiting Los
Angeles.
ANOVA Analysis on passenger profiles and passenger counts
In looking at Tom Bradley departures on Sunday, November 18 between the hours of
10am and 12pm with a sample size of 50, we observed that 19 people were on business trips
arriving with a taxi and 31 were on vacation arrived with another form of transportation in
getting to the airport to catch their departure flights.
Similarly, the level of significance is calculated on a .05 level, this analysis shows that
the calculated alpha is much higher. Here we observe a slightly different outcome. Since the
difference between the F statistic 3.96 and F-Critical 4.04 is very close, normal research would
say that we have a 4.0 F-Critical and even though it is not significant, although it does have a
very close F statistic. Finally, since the data looks really close, we have to conclude that there is
no difference in significance between the count of people arriving at this terminal with taxi who
are business travelers and the count of people that are on vacation and arrived with a different
form of transportation.
Moreover, 251 random samples were taken at the arrival and departure area to test which
type of vehicles takes most time in unloading and loading passengers. The first group of
observations were collected from the departure area and statistically tested.
Unloading time at the departure area - Tom Bradley International Airport Terminal
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 8
The result of the ANOVA test applied on the unloading time for three groups namely:
taxis, shuttles and private cars at the departure area of the Tom Bradley airport terminal
demonstrated that there is a significant difference in the unloading time between the three groups
as indicated by a lower F-Critical at 3.077 compared to the F-value of 9.23. This conclusion is
further supported by the mean averages of 87.84, 47.79 and 147.03 for taxis, shuttles and private
cars respectively. The table below further shows the variance, degree of freedom and the P-
value:

With the same collected data, the observations for all three groups are
also presented in the box plot format as shown below:

Box plot comparison of 115 observations of loading and unloading times for Taxis, shuttles and POVs in the Departure area
The box plots above shows that there is very minimal overlap or similarity of the three
probability distributions for the three categories of Private, Shuttle and Taxi. Significantly, 25
percent of the Private vehicles take much longer time to load or unload their passengers’
belongings, up to 13 minutes. Same kind of trend is also seen with the other two vehicles, but not
as significantly high as for private vehicles. Other than that, the probability distribution seems to
be relatively normal.
To further explain the observations, the result on the inference on pairs of treatment
showed that at 95 percent level of confidence, the end points of the confidence interval are 63.25
and 55.12 for taxis and private cars. Since both end points are positive or skewed to the right, it
can be concluded that the treatment means between private cars and taxis differ significantly that
is, the unloading time at the departure area for taxis measures differently from those of private
cars.
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 10
Comparatively, with 95 percent level of confidence, the end points of the confidence
interval are 43.92 and 46.19 for taxi and shuttles. Since both end points are positive or skewed to
the right, it can be concluded that the treatment means between shuttles and taxis differ
significantly, that is, the unloading time at the departure area for shuttles measures differently
from those of taxis.
Furthermore, with 95 percent level of confidence, the end points of the confidence
interval are 103.23 and 95.25 for shuttles and private cars. Since both end points are positive or
skewed to the right, it can be concluded that the treatment means between shuttles and private
cars differ significantly that is, the unloading time at the departure area for shuttles measures
differently from those of private cars.
Similarly, the table below illustrates the differences between the three groups with private
cars having the highest mean at 147.03 compared to shuttles at 47.78 and taxis at 87.84.
Furthermore, private car skewness is at 2.68, which is nearly double compared to the taxis and
shuttles at 1.21 and 1.36 respectively.

Loading time at the arrival area - Tom Bradley International Airport Terminal
The ANOVA test conducted for the loading time at the arrival area demonstrated
similarly and that there is a significant difference in the loading time between the three groups
as indicated by a lower F-Critical at 3.91 compared to the F-value of 27.17 or can be expressed
as that the F-value is 3 times more than the F-Critical. This conclusion is further supported by
the mean averages of 44.43 and 113.86 for taxis and private cars respectively. The table below

ZeroMin - Q1Q 1 - MedianMedian - Q2
Box plot comparison of 137 observations of loading and unloading times for Taxis and POVs in the Arrival area
The box plots above shows that the observations in the arrival area follow the same
trends as the departure area; i.e. 25 percent of the private vehicles and taxis take a much longer
time to load and unload. This difference in timing is more significantly notices for private
vehicles, taking up to 10 minutes to load or unload.
The inference on the pairs of treatment means further support the findings that at 95
percent level of confidence, the end points of the confidence interval are 18.29 and 13.71 for
taxis and private cars. Since both end points are positive or skewed to the right, it can be
concluded that the treatment means between private cars and taxis differ significantly that is, the
loading time at the arrival area for taxis measures differently from those of private cars.
Lastly, the data below further supports that the probability of a private car stopping at
Tom Bradley International terminal for unloading and unloading purposes is 71.19 % compared
to 22.03 % for shuttles and taxis at only 6.78 % likelihood of dropping off and loading
passengers.

The Binomial distribution results depicted in tables 1-5 and graphs 3-7 in the Appendix
support the analyses discussed above. The distributions were divided into three categories: length
of unloading and loading time for taxis, shuttles and private cars for a minute or less, 1.1 minutes
to 2 minutes, and over 2 minutes. As shown in the results, private cars ranked the first in taking
the over two minutes unload or unload passengers and their belongings. There is a probability of
25 percent that 4 out of 10 private cars will stop for longer than 2 minutes in the unloading area,
and a probability of 27 percent that 3 out of 10 private cars will stop for longer than 2 minutes in
the loading area. The probabilities of 4 out of 10 other vehicles to spend longer than 2 minutes in
the unloading or loading areas are relatively low, when comparing with those of private cars. On
the departure level, it is most possible to have 2 out of 10 randomly selected taxi cabs to take
longer than 2 minutes, while we have 73.5% confidence that no shuttles will spend over 2
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 14
minutes to unload. On the arrival level, similar observations can be drawn, as most of the taxi
cabs will not spend over 2 minutes to load passengers, with a probability of 84.5%.
ConclusionNo conclusion can be drawn as to explain why travelers in our sample size chose a taxi as a
form of transportation to LAX. We only excluded these three reasons that they were locals and
or visitors and if they were traveling on business or for leisure and whether they arrived at the
terminal with a cab ride or another form of transportation. Therefore, we failed to disprove if
there is a relationship between categories. We can conclude that it does not matter if travelers
were locals of visitor, traveling on business or leisure.
It was observed that regardless of the time and of the day, private cars takes most of the time
loading and unloading passengers at Tom Bradley International terminal and applies to both
departure and arrival areas but noticeably private cars taking longer to load than unloading
passengers. The significance of the finding is that the traffic congestion is mainly caused by
private cars instead of taxis, which was previously assumed based on the LAWA. The
assumption was made based on the significant number of taxis coming in and out of LAX.
RecommendationsIn a short term, the following recommendations may help alleviate the traffic congestions at
LAX:
1. Increase uniformed personnel presence at the Tom Bradley terminal during peak hours.
2. Limit the loading and unloading time at curbside to 2 minutes.
3. Strictly enforce traffic regulations.
4. Set up electronic signs to remind drivers of the regulations and time limits for loading and
unloading and to notify drivers of the traffic conditions for each terminal.
LAX – TOM BRADLEY TERMINAL QUANTITATIVE REPORT 15
5. Send out traffic alerts within LAX
6. Provide alternate location for passengers in tour groups.
7. Provide free parking for the first 15 minutes in order to reduce number of vehicles loading
and unloading passengers at curbside.
