Abstract:

Airfield layout evaluation method based on discrete simulation analysis is presented. Specialized simulation software for airport and airspace is used. The airfield with one runway is simulated based on Yangzhou Taizhou Airport. And the airfield with multiple runways is simulated based on Pudong International Airport. The simulations are completed for various air traffic volumes. The operating processes,such as landing,taxing,parking,operation and taking off are simulated. For Yangzhou Taizhou Airport,the delay is less than 4 minutes when its operations are less than 12 aircrafts in the peak hour. The delay in airfield of Pudong International Airport is 61 seconds when the peak hour operation is 51 aircrafts and 344 seconds when the peak hour operation is 134 aircrafts.

Key words: airport, airfield layout, SIMMOD simulation, evaluation
