This paper presents a model of an airport apron that has been developed in order to determine a dynamical model for aircraft travel time in this area. This model is intended for future systems that will support automated routing and taxiing of aircraft in airport taxiways. The apron model proposed keeps into account the main issues related to the aircraft ground movements, such as aircraft conflict management. This model was developed to integrate the software tool taXi Route Planner (XRP), a proprietary software of Selex Sistemi Integrati S.p.A. Malpensa Airport was selected as a case study and the model was verified by field testing on real traffic data.

Abstract
This paper presents a model of an airport apron that has been developed in order to determine a dynamical model for aircraft travel time in this area. This model is intended for future systems that will support automated routing and taxiing of aircraft in airport taxiways. The apron model proposed keeps into account the main issues related to the aircraft ground movements, such as aircraft conflict management. This model was developed to integrate the software tool taXi Route Planner (XRP), a proprietary software of Selex Sistemi Integrati S.p.A. Malpensa Airport was selected as a case study and the model was verified by field testing on real traffic data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
