Title: Optimization of airport taxiways using fast time simulation
Abstract: With an increasing demand for throughput experienced by many large airports, airport authorities are frequently looking at ground infrastructure changes to increase both airport capacity and safety while reducing delays. One such infrastructure change involves the building of new aircraft taxiways to alleviate existing or possible bottlenecks, or to open up new paths for taxiing aircraft to ground destinations such as runways and terminal gates. With a commonly limited budget for such infrastructure changes, simulation provides a vital tool for the investigation of the location of such taxiways on an airport layout and the resulting efficiency gains to be expected. This paper details a proposed system for the automated optimization of taxiway placement using a fast time simulator (the Total Airspace and Airport Modeler).
