STUDY OF AIRPORT SURFACE TRAFFIC MOVEMENT PROBLEMS

Abstract

A study was made of the problems associated with the movement of aircraft and ground vehicles on the surface of the airport between the runway complex and the terminal building area. A description of the control process in both the taxiway and terminal subsystems is provided. Identification of factors pertaining to airport surface traffic movements was made, and a plan for simulation of ground traffic is furnished to determine the quantitative effects on delay by each primary factor. Several problem areas are discussed and a bibliography is included.
