Abstract

Abstract: The operational scheme of the taxiway system is very important to promote the efficient utilization of airfield resources in multi-runway airports. The design and simulation evaluation methods of the taxiway operation scheme for multi-runway airports are studied. The design principles of "fixed, unidirectional, compliant and circular" taxiway operation scheme and the design paradigm of the operation scheme are presented, and the concepts of taxiway space occupancy index and potential conflict index are proposed. Using Haikou Meilan International Airport as the application scenario, the corresponding optimization scheme of the taxiway system in the maneuvering area is given based on the design principles and paradigms. AirTOp simulation analysis is carried out for the original and optimized schemes. The results show that the optimized scenario has a significant reduction in the number of conflicts in the maneuvering area and the average delay time of flights in the maneuvering area compared with the original scenario, with an average reduction of 30.53% and 37.75%, respectively, for the four scenarios.
