چکیده
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 of proposed expansion alternatives at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), constrained at varying levels, are identified. The objective is to compare the ultimate airport capacities achievable for each of the different layouts to estimate their respective efficiencies in terms of runway system utilization. Given its capabilities for modeling at a very high level of detail and closely representing reality in terms of applicable separation standards and air traffic control procedures, TAAM (Total Airspace and Airport Modeller) is used to simulate each proposed alternative. Using the methodology proposed here, the baseline and the different alternatives were evaluated in terms of design functionality, sensitivity to technological and procedural improvements and overall utilization of potential capacity. Results indicate that the Diagonal concept layouts provide a better alternative, irrespective of the set of constraints on the

The following is a discussion on the different aspects of the term capacity as well as a brief look at the commonly used capacity definitions in industrial and operations engineering in general and in Civil Aviation in particular. We maintain that quality factors (including more specifically here, safety) must be explicitly considered in runway capacity definition, and accordingly, we provide a...
متن کاملA Statistical Analysis of the Aircraft Landing Process
Managing operations of the aircraft approach process and analyzing runway landing capacity, utilization and related risks require detailed insight into the stochastic characteristics of the process. These characteristics can be represented by probability distributions. The focus of this study is analyzing landings on a runway operating independent of other runways making it as a single runway. ...
