NEW METHODS OF DETERMINING AIRPORT CAPACITY AND DELAY

The paper describes models to estimate airport capacity and delays and discusses the relevance of the models to airport planning. An analytical approach was adopted for the capacity models, while the delay model utilized Monte Carlo simulation techniques. An extensive data collection at 14 U.S. airports preceded model development. The models were validated by comparison of observed results with computation at three airports. An airfield capacity and delay handbook being developed as a result of this work is discussed.
