Abstract:

A time-staging decision for a long-range runway expansion program has been developed by adapting the dynamic programming methodology to economic optimization for a given planning hoirizon. Specifically, major efforts are made to bring the model into a highly useful form and to further tie the theoretical concept to the working reality by testing the model on real-world examples. Washington National Airport and Dulles International Airport were selected as test cases. The results showed that National could best be served by adding a fourth runway and that Dulles already has too large a runway capacity for its air runway and that Dulles already has too large a runway capacity for its air traffic demand. Viewed in a multiairport perspective for the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region, the possibility of improving both airport operations by shifting some portion of National's demand to Dulles was indicated. A thorough evaluation of the methodology and its applicability revealed that the developed model should be capable of greatly benefiting the planning of airport runway operations. /Author/
