Simulation Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Multi-airport Terminal Area Operation under Multi-scenarios
The complex terminal area with multiple airports and the coupled interactions between arrivals and departures makes it difficult to accurately evaluate and improve the airspace capacity as a whole.Therefore,the modeling and comprehensive evaluation of multi-scenario operation simulation in multi-airport terminal areas were studied.Considering different strategic factors such as heading guidance allo-cation and holding airspace configuration,a diverse set of multi-airport terminal area operation scenarios is designed,and a simulation model for multi-airport terminal area operations based on AirTOp Software is constructed.A comprehensive evaluation method for multi-airport terminal area operation is proposed from a multi-dimensional perspective including safety,efficiency and capacity,and the Zhuhai terminal area is selected for example verification and analysis.The simulation results show that the constructed model and methodology can finely simulate the arrival and departure movements at complex terminal areas in different scenarios,and effectively tap into the operational capabilities of complex terminal areas under different scenarios.The proposed method can provide key data support and modeling reference for the op-eration and management of complex terminal areas.
