Rapid prototyping of airport advanced operational systems and procedures through distributed simulation

摘要

The ever increasing air traffic growth calls for matching improvements in the ground operations, while maintaining safety. Rapid prototyping through modeling and simulation is a well-suited approach to meet evaluation and assessment requirements in this regard. A novel simulation architecture, which is open, scalable and reusable, facilitating both integration of additional components and interoperability between them, is described to evaluate and compare" many airport configurations.
