Based on Flight Departure Queuing Problem for Terminal Area Capacity Assessment

Abstract

In recent years, along with the high-speed growth of national economy, the total turnover of scheduled air transportation in China has risen to number five and passenger turnover rose to Number four in the world. Flight departure queuing occurs mainly in the terminal control area and this is an important part for causing flight delays. To improve the effectiveness of assessment for the departure flight which in the terminal control area, according to the air traffic flow queuing feature, considering estimate departure time, apron, wake turbulence, adopting an algorithm with improved first come first serve to build simulation models to assess the simulation situation for reducing flight delays. Take an example of terminal area of Wuhan Tianhe International Airport, it chooses a flight plan of one day to simulate the daily operation. Simulation results show that using first come first serve algorithm for departure flight can reduce delays, increase airport capacity and improve runway utilization. Keywords-terminal area; departure flight; aircraft; capacity evaluation; queue
