空港灯火による航空機の地上誘導自動化に関する数値シミュレーション

抄録

A computer program was developed to simulate surface movement of aircraft in an airport. This program can automatically select the shortest route, taking account of the delay caused by the approach between aircraft. The following results were clarified by the use of the program:
(1) Surface movement times calculated for the simulated automatic surface guidance system are not very different from those measured in a real system. The automatic surface guidance system operates as efficiently as a real system operating in the daytime and in good visibility, if block section composition and route selection method are good.
(2) When traffic density is light, the majority of the average aircraft deceleration events in the automatic surface guidance system occur at the taxi holding positions. However, aircraft deceleration occurs frequently even at the stop bar positions other than the taxi holding positions and the total number of aircraft decelerations increases, as traffic density increases. Therefore, availability of stop bar will extend to all areas of airport surface, as traffic density increases.
