FEASIBILITY OF REAL TIME SIMULATION OF AIRPORT/AIRSIDE OPERATIONS

This study is of real time simulation (RTS), or man-in-the-loop simulation. It is a part of a total study which includes the development of the following three classes of tools to estimate airfield performance and to determine means of maximizing the performance: Analytical models, fast time simulation, and real time simulation. The proposed real time simulation will provide an economical technique to evaluate the impact, from a controller's viewpoint, or proposed changes in an airfield, ATC hardware, and/or ATC procedures.
