Abstract

GPSS simulation of a major air carrier airport to provide an analysis of capacity of the runway and taxiway system and determination of delays encountered at peak levels of traffic activity. Alternate airport expansion schemes were developed and examined through the simulation technique and a concept for expanding operational capacity was selected. All essential elements and functions of the airport were contained in the model.
