Overview
Background & policy context:
The development of innovative approaches to airport operations should improve the airport capacity both airside and landside. This needs the support of simulation tools able to analyse the impacts of the initiatives on traffic flows of aircraft and ground vehicles, including the passengers and baggage. The existing simulation tools need to be assessed and improved to be able to provide airport operators with strategic advice.
Objectives:
OPTASA aimed to:
- review and implement airside and landside simulation tools for use in case studies to evaluate the capacity impacts of initiatives likely to be taken in European airports in the next 7 to 10 years;
- evaluate the applicability of 'system dynamics' modelling to develop a fast runtime tool, which integrates the airside with the landside of an airport.
