Discrete-Event Simulation of Air Traffic Flow

Abstract

discrete-event simulation model of air traffic fl ow is developed to take advantage of the computational efficiency afforded by event-based si mulation. The model is based on a set of reusable library block components that may be used to build models of varying degrees of complexity. The building blocks of discrete-event s imulation are described. To illustrate the modeling technique for air traffic flow management, both small-scale and large-scale models of air traffic flow are developed. Example results are presented to show how event-based simulation may be used to perform air traffic flow management research.
