SIMULATION OF INTERFACE SYSTEMS AT AIRPORTS

A DESCRIPTION IS PROVIDED OF THE SIMULATION MODELS DEVELOPED AND USED FOR THE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE AIRFIELD FOR THE PROPOSED DALLAS-FORT WORTH REGIONAL AIRPORT, AND OF THE AIRPORT, TERMINALS, AND APPROACH ROADWAYS FOR MAIQUETIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN VENEZUELA. THROUGH REPLICATION OF THE ACTUAL MOVEMENT OF TRAFFIC UNITS AS THEY INTERACT WITH THE PROPOSED AIRPORT SYSTEMS, MODEL SIMULATION PRODUCES STATISTICS THAT PROVIDE A MEASURE OF AIRPORT PERFORMANCE. SIMULATION IS SHOWN TO REPRESENT A POWERFUL TOOL THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO EVALUATE AIRPORT DESIGNS UNDER EXPECTED TRAFFIC LOADS BEFORE CONTRUCTION IS UNDERTAKEN. /IAA/
