مقاله انگلیسی رایگان در مورد تفاوت بین فرودگاه مرکزی و غیر مرکزی ظرفیت پروازی

As a reflection of what occurs in the case of major airports worldwide, the runway system is considered to be the main airside capacity constraint, and airside capacity is usually expressed through the runway system capacity. In this paper airport airside is observed through the runway system (hereinafter: runway) and apron/gate complex (hereinafter: apron). It is assumed that the taxiway system has reached mature phase in its development, and it does not present the capacity constraint.

Services provided to aircraft on the runway and on the apron are different in nature. The runway is entry/exit point to/from the airside system, where service times are the order of magnitude of a few minutes. At apron(s) aircraft are turned-around which requires service times from 20min to as much as several hours (depending on the aircraft class and type of service).

Interaction between arrivals and departures exists at both airside elements, but different flows of arrivals and departures interact at these two, due to difference in service times and the transitional (taxi) times between them. This paper does not address physical runway-apron relationship, i.e. an impact of taxi times on exchange of arrivals and departures between the runway and the apron, but it analyzes their functional relationship, related to specific demand characteristics.
