THE USE OF ANALYTICAL AND SIMULATION MODELS IN AIR TERMINAL PLANNING AND DESIGN

Complex situations at airport terminals have been successfully analyzed by operations research techniques. Using analytical and simulation models, the impact of aircraft, passenger, baggage and cargo flow rates on facilities can be quantified, thus helping to determine requirements accurately. A description of these models and their application is presented.
