The following paragraphs describe a computer program for simulating the movements of aircraft on the apron, taxiways, and runways of an airport. The purpose of this program is to enable the airport planner to evaluate the performance of a given airport layout from an operational point of view. Likewise, he can compare alternative layouts, investigate the impact of a change in airport activity (flight schedule), or assess the impact of an unusual situation (closing of a runway). The inherent assumptions of the model are discussed, and the various output reports and graphics are illustrated and explained.
