TAMS - Dynamic Usage of Capacity for Arrivals and Departures in Queue, Delay and Punctuality Optimization

Abstract

Airport runway capacity is defined as the maximum number of arrivals and departures that can be handled during a fixed time period at an airport under given conditions. Arrival and departure capacities are interdependent and connected with each other through a convex piecewise linear Pareto-curve. This curve characterizes capacity of the given runway and estimates real observed data on the number of arrivals and departures on the runway during a fixed time interval over a long period of time. An overview on representation and estimation of airport capacity can be found, for instance, in [1].
