Simulation Analysis of Airport Parallel Runway Capacity under Different Operating Modes

Airport Congestion Mitigation through Dynamic Control of Runway Configurations and of Arrival and Departure Service Rates under Stochastic Operating Conditions

The high levels of flight delays require the implementation of airport congestion mitigation tools. In this paper, we optimize the utilization of airport capacity at the tactical level in the face of operational uncertainty. We formulate an original Dynamic Programming model that selects jointly and dynamically runway configurations and the balance of arrival and departure service rates at a bu...

Optimal Selection of Airport Runway Configurations

We present a mixed integer programming (MIP) model to solve the problems of (i) selecting an airport’s optimal sequence of runway configurations and (ii) determining the optimal balance of arrivals and departures to be served at any moment. These problems, the runway configuration management (RCM) problem and the arrival/departure runway balancing (ADRB) problem, respectively, are of critical i...

A Review of Airport Runway Optimization

Runway Scheduling for Charlotte Douglas International Airport

This paper explores a multiple runway scheduling problem and generates the schedule for arrivals, departures and crossing aircraft planning to use the runways within a given planning horizon. We present a mixed integer linear programming-based model that explicitly considers separation criteria between pairs of aircraft and also incorporates various Traffic Management Initiatives. It also inclu...

A Simulation Study to Investigate Runway Capacity Using TAAM

Author: Prakash Subramanian Title: A Simulation Study to Investigate Runway Capacity Using TAAM Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Business Administration in Aviation Year: 2002 This study outlines a method to evaluate runway layouts using simulation, to aid in the airport planning and decision making process. As a sample study, the maximum throughput capacities...
