Simulation Analysis on Influencing Factors of Airport Ground Operation Efficiency
In order to improve airport ground operation efficiency,a discrete simulation model of airport operation system based on Are-na was established,an animation module combined with data analysis and model fitting function of SAS software was added,three sim-ulation scenarios were designed to research impact of changing runway usage,tractor reassignment and future operating pressure when airport transport demand grows rapidly.Results show that average taxiing time of flights departure with dual-runway isolation opera-tion mode can be shortened by about 4 minutes and with mixed runway operation mode is 3 minutes shorter than previous.With adjus-ted tractor deployment,probability of push back delay more than5 minutes due to restriction of tractor resources decreased by18.5%.Finally,test extreme traffic increment that the airport's current capacity can cope with,results indicate that when flights increase by 60%,taxi time of inbound and outbound stretch a lot.Simulation and assessment of airport ground traffic offered suggestions in resource allocation optimization and maximizing airport operation efficiency.
