Many studies showed that the capacities of airspace,
airfield, or air traffic control were or would be the
constraints for the development of civil aviation. Taiwan also
faces such a problem. How to effectively improve the operating
efficiency of airfield and airspace becomes an important
issue. "Airport Capacity Enhancements" has been one of
important research issues. The operations of integrated
airspace and airfield system are very complicated, and thus,
an evaluation tool is very critical for determining the
locations of bottlenecks and their underlying causes. This
research tries to study the characteristics of SIMMOD. SIMMOD
is a microscopic simulation model. It has been widely used in
the world. It aims to analyze the performances of airspace and
airfield. This research will first tries to understand SIMMOD''''
s underlying theory and logic, including the definition of
aircraft, the building of airspace and airfield networks, the
aircraft moving rules, and airfield operations. The operations
of Sung Shan Airport will be well studied and, the data
associated with runway, taxiway, gates, airlines, flights,
aircraft, and the arrival or departure procedures will be
collected for model validation. The applicability of SIMMOD in
Taipei Flight Information Region will be evaluated. This
research also discusses runway capacity under different
aircraft separations, aircraft mix index and percent arrivals.
The results of this research will be very helpful for building
the data- base of air transportation in Taiwan, especially in
the areas of airspace and airfield. In addition, this research
can provide the insights for airport capacity enhancements.
