1. significant congestion and ground delays on major airports Accurate models of airport traffic prediction can provide new tools to assist ground controllers in choosing the best taxiways and the most adapted holding points for aircraft Such tools could also be used by airport designers to evaluate possible improvements on airport configurations and airport structure In this paper a ground traffic simulation tool is proposed and applied to Roissy Charles De Gaulle and Orly airports 4 global optimization method using genetic algorithms is compared to a 1 to n strategy to minimize time spent between gate and runway while respecting aircraft separation and runway capacity In order to compare the efficiency of the different optimization methods simulations are carried out on a one day traffic sample and ground delay due to holding points or taxiway lengthening is correlated to the traffic density on the airport 2001 Ajircraft ground Traffic Optimization Gotteland etal N 2001 Aircraft ground Traffic Optimization Gotteland etal Figure 5 All Records Form Step 3 Add a New Document Add New Records form Figure 6 enables the user to add a new document to the database 4 out of 6 B DataBase Code Title First Author Second Author Third Author Forth Author Fifth Author Sixth Author Seventh Author Eighth Author Rank 1 5 Printed a Previous Document 1 Out of O Date of Publication n First Name Fi2.
