Timeframe of Application

• STRATEGIC (Prognosis Scenarios)
• Define requirement to the infrastructure (pre
  Planning)
• Evaluate and optimise planning of infrastructure
• Develop and refine operational concept
• Investment and operational costs
• TACTICAL (x times a year to daily)
• Planning of operation (resources)
• Optimisation of operation
• Cost optimisation
• OPERATIONAL (real time)
• Short term detection of change in demand
• EIBT, EOBT prediction

KPI Key Performance Indicators

• COST
• Investment
• Cost of operation
• Environment / quality / safety
• Basic data equipment, quality, capacity,
  transaction times, throughput, staff, equipment,
  required space, taxi times, driving times,
  process times, fuel consumption, emission, noise,
  CO2, walking times, punctuality, delay
• Specific issues and aggregation
• Point of viewAirport, Airline, ATC...

• ExampleIntermodality
• Total Time At Airport - TTAA
• - for aircraft
• for passenger
• (consider retail)

Visualisation and Analysis-functions

• Modelling
• Intuitive modelling
• Validate the model
• Analysis
• Get overview
• Ad hoc results
• Understand interdependencies
• Communication
• Familiar view
• Easy to understand for everyone
• Same picture for everyone
• Time efficient
• EMOTION?

Questions Whole system

• What is the benefit of shared information (CDM)?
• How effective are new technologies?
• What are the effects of the interdependencies in
  the system?
• What are the effects from and to other systems?
  (Rail, Airspace)
• Develop and improve a Total Airport Operational
  Concept.
• Assessment and visualisation of future airport
  performance.
