September 2005 | Airport Planning

  • Assessment to determine the air traffic capacity of the system of parallel runways at Düsseldorf International Airport
  • Capacity determination for the runway system and departure and landing areas using the analytical queuing models FIM (First Come First Served) and SAM (Spaced Arrival Model)
  • Validation of the determined data with the FAA-certified simulation program SIMMOD™
  • Extensive variation of the input parameters such as take-off and landing separation, delay criteria and examination of the quasi- parallel operation of two operational non-independent runways
