Airport configurations have a large impact on many components of the air traffic management system.
A specific airport configuration determines which arrival and departure runways are active at a given
time, under certain operating conditions, and the available airport capacity. Accurate predictions of
future airport configuration reduces airport capacity uncertainty, which enables traffic flow
management to better match demand to capacity. Both surface and airspace operations can benefit
from better understanding of future airport configurations. Better knowledge of which runways will be
active ahead of time enables more accurate predictions of taxi times and better utilization of
resources on the airport surface. |
