| Abstract: | Recent airport capacity studies have indicated that there is an imbalance in passenger terminal, airfield and airspace planning at many major airports. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on airfield and airspace development and analysis. Not much emphasis has been made on passenger terminal design. Therefore, there are many cases around the world exhibiting congestion problems at the airport passenger terminal as the number of air passengers continue to increase. This paper presents a generic simulation model for the final design of airport passenger terminal using SLAM II Simulation Language. The animation is presented on facility diagram which graphically portrays the layout of passenger terminal. Icons representing the entities of the system (both international and domestic passengers and baggage) are provided. The model has been verified and validated by data obtained from the Singapore Changi Airport. |
