... 3 CHAPTER 2. AIRPORT TAXIING OPERATIONS Taxiing is the controlled movement of the aircraft under its own power on the ground.
From page 4...
... 4 will generally involve constant speed in the range 15 to 20 knots with the engine(s) at ground idle thrust, with brief accelerations for time-sensitive movements, such as crossing active runways.

... 5 runway capacity. If lateral separation between parallel runways is less than 4,300 feet and IFR conditions exist, capacity is reduced significantly.

... 7 segment. Unimpeded aircraft ground times are measured as the un-interrupted time from gate to lift-off for departures, and un-interrupted time from touch-down to gate for arrivals.
From page 8...
... 8 In summary, the timing of aircraft in holding queues is affected by a multitude of factors including FAA rules, weather, congestion and capacity. Empirical or modeling data from EDMS and TAAM® and ultimately AEDT are suitable sources for such queuing information.

... 9 moving segments those with speeds at or above 1 knot. During these stationary and moving segments average ground speed and thrust parameters were obtained from the FDR data.
