This circular documents the proceedings of the third workshop on airport modeling and simulation. This workshop built on what was presented and discussed in the previous two by providing state-of-practice of airport and airspace modeling and simulation tools, techniques, and analytical procedures. This workshop also included one-on-one computer demonstrations by the individual presenters of the state-of-the-art of the industry. The presentations and discussions covered new and innovative simulation tools and techniques that would improve the utility of airport and airspace simulations to users and enhance quality of results. Presentations, discussions, and demonstrations facilitated the exchange of facts and thoughts on the benefits and advantages of implementing these new simulation techniques as technical analysis and decision-making tools. Experiences of the presenters were shared with the workshop participants on the technical content, data requirements, analysis methods, and results from case studies as demonstrated and discussed. The workshop was conducted in an interactive manner with balanced representation of speakers comprised of simulation developers, simulation users, academic researchers, airport managers/operators, airspace planners and operations analysts, and airport consultants. The attendants of this workshop represented a wide spectrum of experts in this field from the United States and internationally. They included airport managers, aviation planners, airport engineers, aviation/airport consulting firms, university and aviation center researchers, state aviation and airport authorities, and airport-airspace planners from federal and state aviation agencies. |
