... 3 Global business and tourism depend heavily on the efficient operation of airports and movement of passengers, baggage, and cargo across many areas. With increasing demand and connectivity requirements for airports comes the need for more sophisticated simulation and modeling tools to validate design assumptions.
From page 4...
... 4 Simulation Options for Airport Planning sophisticated and powerful, they are capable of modeling increasingly realistic aircraft, passenger, and vehicle operations at highly detailed levels. Current-day simulations are capable of very accurately predicting future operational conditions, and the survey results indicate a strong desire to use simulation tools across a variety of organizations and for a variety of projects.

... Introduction 5 However, the number and types of simulation tools available to airport planners can still cause confusion and inappropriate application of a simulation. Study Approach This synthesis report explores the functional and analytical capabilities of simulation tools used by the nation's airport planners to simulate and analyze airport or airfield, airspace, terminal, and ground-access operations.
