Simulation modeling and analysis of a new international terminal

This paper describes a recently completed project involving the development of simulation models for the new international terminal at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, Istanbul, Turkey. The simulation models helped evaluate the passenger and aircraft flow from the terminal entrance to boarding; identify the system bottlenecks as well as the system capacities. The models have also been used for operations planning, training and the demonstration of terminal activities. Since the overall objective of the project was to validation of the terminal design, the models included major passenger, aircraft, and baggage flow activities. The following project steps were conducted to achieve the overall goals:
