The goal of this study is to maximize the rate of passengers (demand points) who try to access to the payment kiosks. To do so, two different location-allocation analysis which are set covering and p-median models were applied using mathematical modeling approach. As a result, the required number of kiosks and coverage distances were determined to satisfy all demand.
