• 1997: LeTech/IATA on projects worldwide
• 2000: Gate module (LeTech/IATA)
• 2001: Terminal module (LeTech/IATA)
• 2001: Total AirportSim (LeTech/IATA)
TRB-2002 4
Background
• Designed and developed by LeTech
• Designed to operate on a PC
• Written in C++
• Over 400,000 lines of codes
• Designed basing on users’ requirements
TRB-2002 5
Total AirportSim Modules
Three main modules:
• Airport/Runway Module
• Gate Module
• Terminal Module (Passenger Flow)
TRB-2002 6
Airport/Runway Module
TRB-2002 7
Airport/Runway Module• Supports SIMMOD data format with
enhanced GUI
• Fast time engines– FAA’s SIMMOD version 2.3 or higher
– Total AirportSim’s enhanced engine
• Shares data between cases and modules tominimize redundancy
• INM 6.x interface
TRB-2002 8
Airport/Runway Sub-Modules
• Network Editor
• Events Generator
• Simulation Engines
• Animation
• Reports
TRB-2002 9
Network Editor Sub-Module
• Enhanced GUI to easily create or edit acomplex network including all relatingproperties
• CAD, NFDC, demographic backgrounddisplay to facilitate designing network
• Undo/redo capability
• Data validated while input
TRB-2002 10
Events Generator Sub-Module
• Links flight schedule and network data toproduce events file
• Assigns routes, taxipaths, gates, etc.
• Moves flights between runways
• Automatically calculates route travel times,loading/unloading times
TRB-2002 11
TotalAirportSim’sAirport/Runway Engine
• An improved alternative to FAA’s SIMMOD
• Simplified cloning– Incremental cloning, from baseline or previous clone
– Negative/positive, AIRLINES/ALINEGROUPS cloning
TRB-2002 12
Animation Sub-Module
• Graphical replay of simulation results• True type aircraft display• CAD, NFDC, demographic, INM, topography
background display
• Fast forward, rewind w/speed controls
• Side-by-side scenario comparison– Multiple windows– Multiple PCs via network
TRB-2002 13
Animator (Multiple Windows)
TRB-2002 14
Report Sub-Module
• Provides the following standard reports– Report by total delays – Report by gates
– Report by airlines – Report by routes
– Report by runways – Report by flights
– Report by departQs – Report by locations
• Including graphs and charts
TRB-2002 15
Gate Module
TRB-2002 16
Gate Module
• Gate is an important link between terminals andrunways
• Determine gate requirements for planningschedule–site specific rules and procedures
• Cloning
• Gantt chart display
• Interactive ‘What-if…’: assign gate, move, tow
TRB-2002 17
Terminal Module
TRB-2002 18
Terminal Module
• Real time or fast time–discrete simulation• Passenger flow/schedule-driven concept• Graphical editor w/CAD background• Flexible passenger’s path diversity• Special features:
– Area speed/density – Snake queues– Level Of Service (LOS) – Baggage– Concessions – Greeters/Well Wishers– Transport
• Multiple levels/windows/PCs animation• Instant reports and graphs
TRB-2002 19
Demo
• Airport/Runway Demo
• Gate Demo
• Terminal Demo
TRB-2002 20
Conclusions
• Total AirportSim can simulate Airspace ⇔Runway ⇔ Gate ⇔ Terminal– I/O data can be used between modules
– Same interface, same look and feel
• Designed to operate on a PC (desktop ornotebook) with Windows 98/Me/NT/2000
• Cost effective solution to all planningdesigns
