THE SYSTEM OF MOVEMENT OF AERODROME. AN AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE RADAR

Abstract

Annotation: Nowadays all around the world flights are tend to increase and for many airports it is no longer an option to expand terminals and runways, so airports are trying to maximize their operational efficiency. Today a lot of airports already operate near their maximal capacity, especially some busy airports in Europe and Middle East. Peak hours imply operational bottlenecks and cause chained delays across flights impacting passengers, airlines, airports and economies as well. Therefore there is a need for the optimization of the ground movements at the airports. The ground movement problem consists of routing the departing planes from the gate to the runway for takeoff, and the arriving planes from the runway to the gate, and to schedule their movements.
