Airport Simulation Technology in Airport Planning, Design and Operating Management

Abstract

The promotion and application of airport simulation technology can help improve the soft power of China's civil aviation, and achieve the scientific assessment and refined decision-making for airport planning, construction and operating programs. This paper first sorted out the concepts and types of airport simulation, namely airport airside ground operating simulation, terminal area and airway airspace simulation, terminal building internal process simulation and airport landside curbside traffic simulation, highlighting its relevant applications in airport planning, design and operating management. Taking airport airside ground operating simulation as an example, the application of simulation technology to airport operating capacity of parallel runways was introduced. Finally, the problems and developments of airport simulation technology were discussed in depth.
