Compendium of Available
Simulation Models
Recent research associated with the production of the Terminal Planning Spreadsheet
Models has found substantial documentation on the availability of simulation models and
model-making systems for passenger terminal planners. Several of the simulation models
available for use are based on these model-making systems. When a more detailed level of
estimation is required, a simulation model may provide the planner with more specific infor-
mation and greater detail but will also require more time and a greater financial cost to the
planner.
The following models are commercially available for use by passenger terminal planners and
designers to support terminal space programs or validate alternative plans and designs:
· PAXSIM, Boeing (Preston Group), Melbourne, Victoria, Australia--a continuous simu-
lation model for the movements of passengers and baggage within the passenger terminal
building.
· EDS-SIM, Jacobs Consultancy, San Francisco, California--a continuous simulation model
focused on automated baggage screening systems.
· Flow-Model, Jacobs Consultancy, San Francisco, California--an analytical model focused on
the movement of passengers and baggage from ticketing through passenger and baggage secu-
rity screening.
· TRACS (Terminal, Roadway and Curbside Simulation), Transolutions, Inc. Ft. Worth,
Texas--a continuous flow simulation model that covers all passenger and baggage movements
inside the terminal building and covers vehicle movements on the terminal curbside.
· Total AirportSim (TASM), Transolutions, Inc. Ft. Worth, Texas--a single-package continu-
ous simulation model that covers all aspects of airport operations (aircraft, passengers, bag-
gage, vehicles) within a single simulation model.
· ARCport ALT, Aviation Research Corporation, Point Roberts, Washington--a discrete
event simulation model that models aircraft gate movements, passenger movements inside
the terminal building, and baggage handling.
· ServiceModel, Ricondo & Associates, Chicago, Illinois--a discrete event simulation model that
evaluates the movement of inbound and outbound passengers and baggage in the passenger
terminal building.
· TAS, International Air Transport Association--a mathematical algorithm that evaluates air-
craft, passenger, baggage, and vehicle movements on aircraft aprons and within terminal
buildings
· Baggage--Systems, Transolutions, Ft. Worth, Texas--a continuous simulation model for
outbound baggage make-up (Automod model).
· CAST Terminal, Airport Research Center, GmbH, Aachen, Germany--a dynamic multi-
agent simulation tool.

In addition to the preceding simulation models, the following modeling systems provide pre-
made modules that represent passenger terminal facilities and provide tools to assemble these
modules into custom simulations:
· ARENA (SIMAN) Professional, Rockwell Systems, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
· WITNESS, Lanner Group, Inc., Houston, Texas
· Automod, Applied Materials, Inc., Santa Clara, California
