A Decision Support System for Total Airport Operations Management and Planning

This article presents a decision support system (SPADE DSS) for assessing total airport operations management and planning. The authors contend that the planning and decision making process is complicated because the large number of stakeholders have different, and sometimes conflicting, objectives regarding the assessment of airport performance. Components of airport performance that must be taken into consideration include capacity, delays, safety, security, noise and cost-effectiveness. The authors describe their decision-oriented modeling framework and the development process of a decision support system for total airport operations management and planning. The systems consists of three main parts: a view component, which includes the user interface; a data model, for managing input and output data; and a control component, which handles the command issued by the user through the interface. The authors present a use case that demonstrates the decision support capabilities and basic modeling functionalities of the proposed system. They conclude that the SPADE DSS system has already been proven reliable and useful based on selected test scenarios at major European airports, including Athens, Malaga, Amsterdam-Schiphol, and Naples.
