Ground operation efficiency analysis of a large airport airfield based on computer simulation

摘要

Airfield ground operation efficiency is an important basis to judge whether an airport's planning and design is reasonable. Using Simmod simulation software, taking the Beijing New Airport as in example, in this study, the airfield simulation models were established. The airport ground operation efficiency, arrival/departure flight delay time, and peak hour movements in southward and northward operation directions of the airport were explored in this study. The simulation results indicate that under the current construction scheme, the Beijing New Airport is able to meet the needs of the target year. In the main and secondary operation directions, the average ground delay time of departure flight is 2.73 minutes and 2.63 minutes, respectively, and that of arrival flight is less than 1 minute. The peak hour movements are about 90 flights.
