72 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. Compendium of Available Simulation Models

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 Compendium of Available Simulation Models 73

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 25, Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design comprises a guidebook, spreadsheet models, and a user’s guide in two volumes and a CD-ROM intended to provide guidance in planning and developing airport passenger terminals and to assist users in analyzing common issues related to airport terminal planning and design.

Volume 2 of ACRP 25 consists of a CD-ROM containing 11 spreadsheet models, which include practical learning exercises and several airport-specific sample data sets to assist users in determining appropriate model inputs for their situations, and a user’s guide to assist the user in the correct use of each model. The models on the CD-ROM include such aspects of terminal planning as design hour determination, gate demand, check-in and passenger and baggage screening, which require complex analyses to support planning decisions. The CD-ROM is also available for download from TRB’s website as an ISO image.

Volume 1 of ACRP Report 25 describes the passenger terminal planning process and provides, in a single reference document, the important criteria and requirements needed to help address emerging trends and develop potential solutions for airport passenger terminals. Volume 1 addresses the airside, terminal building, and landside components of the terminal complex.
