Runway Exit Designs for Capacity Improvement Demonstrations. Phase 2. Computer Model Development

Abstract

This report describes the work accomplished in the development of a computer simulation/optimization model to: 1) estimate the optimal locations of existing and proposed runway turnoffs and 2) to estimate the geometric design requirements associated with newly developed high-speed turnoffs. The model described in this report named REDIM 2.0 represents a stand alone application to be used by airport planners, designers and researchers alike to estimate optimal turnoff locations. The report describes in detail the main procedures implemented in the software package and illustrates possible applications using 6 major runway scenarios. The main output of the computer program is the estimation of the weighted average runway occupancy tam for a user defined aircraft population. Also, the location and geometric characteristics of each turnoff are provided to the user.
