Abstract

In response to the need for managing demand and capacity in the Air Transportation System (ATS), a wide range of improvements are envisioned in the next generation ATS (NextGen). These improvements include the use of new operational procedures as well as new technologies and infrastructure. The impact of NextGen improvements on the efficiency of the ATS and on user and service provider business objectives is of interest to multiple stakeholders. In particular, ramp and taxiway congestion, and taxiway and runway construction projects at airports have made it necessary for analysts to understand surface operations with greater precision. In this paper, the authors introduce aviation practitioners to the concept of Petri Nets for performance analysis of airport surface operations. Together with high fidelity flight surface movement data from the ASDE-X system installed at New York John F. Kennedy International airport (one of a number of airports with this capability), they show how Petri Nets may be used to derive measures of congestion, runway throughput and utilisation, to present stakeholders with the necessary information to make informed planning decisions.
