Agent based model is created to simulate proposed alternative.

Given its capabilities for modeling at a very high level of detail and closely representing reality in terms of applicable separation standards and air traffic management procedures. Results in this study are mainly focused on parallel runways, conducted using an agent-based simulation software called AnyLogic. The use of parallel runways to increase aerodrome capacity is a common concept at busy aerodromes. Nonintersecting runways, whose extended centre lines have an angle of convergence/divergence of 15 degrees or less, are called near parallel runways. Congestion occurs when demand approaches or exceeds capacity.

While a runway system capacity is defined as the hourly rate of aircraft operations which may be reasonably expected to be accommodated by a single or a combination of runways under given local conditions. A failure to manage these runways effectively can start a causal chain wherein an accumulating bottleneck effect leads to fighting delays, unused runway capacity, and increased controller workload which, in turn, leads to increased financial and environmental costs.Īn airport’s capacity may be broadly defined as its ability to handle a given volume. This challenge is most pronounced in the runways, where multiple traffic flows converge within a confined region. However, since the early 1970s, the peaking of traffic at airports has been a problem of increasing concern to airport operators around the world. IntroductionĪirports play a key role in the commercial aviation system by allowing airlines and their customers to converge. The results seem to be highly efficient, so the method can be applied to parallel runway capacity evaluation and the model propose favorable flexibility and extensibility. The model is evaluated experimentally, and the quality is studied in comparison with models, created by SIMMOD and Arena. Agent Unified Modeling Language (AUML) is applied to illustrate the inbound and departing procedure of planes and design the agent-based model. This study outlines a model, multiagent architecture, implementation approach, and software prototype of a simulation system for evaluating runway capacity. Parallel runway is the mainstream structure of China hub airport, runway is often the bottleneck of an airport, and the evaluation of its capacity is of great importance to airport management.
