Discrete event passenger flow simulation model for an airport terminal capacity analysis

Robert Rauch (Author), Miroljub Kljajić (Author)

Abstract

This paper describes analysis of departure passenger flow in an airport terminal, from the passenger entrance to boarding; involving the development of simulation model. The basis for the simulation model was a snapshot of the passenger flow data taken during the summer periods from 2003 to 2004. Various data were collected and used to define the inputs to a simulation model. The next step was a statistical analysis of the collected data. A discrete-event simulation model using simulation programming language General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) was constructed. The performance of the system in the present and expected future was studied. The simulation model helped us to evaluate the passenger flow, identify the system bottlenecks as well as the system capacities. Critical aspects in the passenger.

Secondary title:	Dogodkovni model dinamičnih potniških tokov za potrebe analize kapacitet v letališkem terminalu
Secondary abstract:	V prispevku smo analizirali karakteristike dinamičnih potniških tokov na letališču Ljubljana. Z ozirom na kompleksnost problema smo se osredotočili na študij funkcionalnosti strežbe odhodnega potniškega toka in sicer od prihoda potnikov na letališče do vkrcanja potnikov v letalo. Osnova za izgradnjo prototipnega simulacijskega modela so bili zbrani podatki v času posameznih dnevnih prometnih konic v poletnih mesecih v letih 2003 in 2004. Na osnovi statističnih analiz zbranih podatkov smo dobili statistične porazdelitve medprihodnih časov prihodov in časov strežbe potnikov, ki so vstopili v letališki sistem. Dogodkovni simulacijski model smo razvili z uporabo simulacijskega jezika General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS). Z eksperimentiranjem na simulacijskem modelu smo proučevali dinamiko obstoječih in bodočih potniških tokov na letališču, identificirali ozka grla ter pomanjkanje tako obstoječih kot tudi bodočih kapacitet. Na podlagi dobljenih simulacijskih rezultatov so podani konkretni predlogi za izboljšave.
