Application of Simulation Models in Airport Facility Design

چکیده
Lester B. Pearson – Toronto International Airport is undertaking a $4.4B development program comprising a new 390,000 sq. m. terminal building (replacing two aging terminals), three new runways, cargo facilities, a central utilities plant, and an expanded road system and parking facilities. This activity is proceeding while the airport continues to operate and while requirements evolve in response to rapid changes in the airline industry. The airport has used and continues to use airport simulation models to assist in the development of program requirements and to validate design. For example, computer models have been used to generate population estimates to determine impacts on HVAC requirements and to simulate queuing at check-in counters and pre-board security screening points. This paper will discuss calibration methods and the application of simulation results in the design process. Finally, the impact of the changed environment since September 11, 2001 on airport design will be discussed.

متن کاملErgonomics and simulation-based approach in improving facility layout
The use of the simulation-based technique in facility layout has been a choice in the industry due to its convenience and efficient generation of results. Nevertheless, the solutions generated are not capable of addressing delays due to worker’s health and safety which significantly impact overall operational efficiency. It is, therefore, critical to incorporate ergonomics in facility design. I...
متن کاملA Novel Assisted History Matching Workflow and its Application in a Full Field Reservoir Simulation Model
The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...
