Abstract:

This workshop presentation discusses the Virginia Tech Airport Simulation model (VTASim). The model is a research tool developed under Federal Aviation Administration sponsorship to understand advanced airport surface automation concepts including intelligent dynamic traffic routing, data link, and controller workload issues. The model incorporates algorithms for solving airport operational problems that arise in air traffic control (ATC) systems within the airport area. VTASim is designed to have the capability for reproducing not only the dynamic behavior of aircraft, but also incorporates communication activities between controllers and pilots. These activities are critical in ATC operations, and in some instances, might limit the capacity of the facility. The model could be used by decision makers to study effects of advanced airport automation in delay and capacity measures of effectiveness.
