Simulation Analysis of Airport Capacity for Disaster Relief Activities

抄録

After disaster occurred, a large number of aircraft such as helicopters for disaster relief activities often use a local airport as a base. But local airports did not have enough capacity and experience in operating so many aircraft, and airport can’t find a suitable operation pattern to deploy aircraftefficiently. In this paper, first, we developed an integrated simulation of the runway and apron operation in disaster for airport capacity evaluation with the dynamic capacity concept. Then the simulation is used as a planning tool to allocate and arrange the disaster relief aircraft. we try to find a suitable operation strategy to efficiently utilize the airport’s resource and operate the rescue aircraft. The result of this paper is expected to offer useful advice for airport capacity planning for disaster relief operation.
