A SLAM Simulation Model for Capability Assessment of Base Level Refueling during Aircraft Surge Operations.
Abstract
This thesis develops a simulation model to of the base level refueling operation during surge conditions. Refueling data, representing surge operations, was collected and used to describe model variables. A simulation language available on the Z-100 microcomputer, SLAM II, was used to encode the model. The model simulated the refueling of aircraft under surge operations using refueling trucks, hot pits, and fillstands. The model is general enough to allow the user to vary the number of aircraft, refueling trucks, hot pits and fillstands in order to determine how long the refueling operation will take. The analysis was accomplished using a paired difference experiment. Two individual designs, having different combinations of refueling equipment, were tested to determine if the model could provide the decision maker with the best configuration of equipment. The results of the experiment indicated that the model could provide an output useful in choosing between alternative configurations of equipment. (Author)
