TAPE - Total Airport Performance and Evaluation
Overview
Background & policy context:
Airport modelling has concentrated on specific subsystems of the airport complex, such as the landside (terminals), the airside (runways and taxiways) and the access/egress system (roads, parking, etc.). However, users must manually co-ordinate inputs and outputs for the various models in order to account for the interaction between the airport subsystems. Similar co-ordination is required for users to mix strategic models (usually involving a low level of modelling detail) with tactical models (requiring a high level of detail in data and system definition).
Objectives:
The principal objective of the TAPE project was to develop a working prototype of an integrated environment, suitable for the study of overall airport performance, i.e. incorporating both airside and landside elements and different degrees of detail in the analysis, under different scenarios of demand and airport configuration.
