Assessment of runway capacity for Shanghai Pudong international airport

Abstract

This paper gives a basically theoretically analytical model of the ultimate capacity of two parallel runways. The capacity model is about two operation modes of runways, one is absolutely independent operation mode, and another is dependent approach and independent departure mode. Apply the capacity mode to estimating the ultimate capacity of Shanghai Pudong International Airport two runways system. Also compare the runways capacity curve of two operation mode. The result of this analysis shows that the capacity model works effectively with the degree of accuracy in the assessment of airport runway capacity.
