ANALYSIS OF SATELLITE AIR TERMINAL SYSTEM

A systems approach is used to analyze the concept for large metropolitan areas. A mathematical model formulates the problem as a fixed charge selection-allocation problem, and computes optimum locations for the satellites in the megalopolis. The analysis enables comparison among the transportation modes used to transfer passengers between the satellite collection ports and the main airport. A heuristic algorithm is used in conjunction with the model to compute locations for collection ports when a rapid transit network is used.
