Evaluation of Airport Capacity Optimisation Measures: A System Wide Perspective

188 Seiten, Dissertation Technische Universität München (2019), Hardcover, A5

Zusammenfassung / Abstract

Global market forecasts foresee the total number of airline passengers to double within the next 20 years. Already by now, many airports around the world are facing substantial capacity constraints. A more efficient utilisation of the existing infrastructure is regarded as one of the key enablers for future air traffic growth. Five different airport capacity optimisation measures are selected to be analysed. To determine the potential to increase maximum aircraft throughput, fast-time air traffic simulation models are used. In order to cope with the large number of different airport infrastructure systems, generic models were developed.
