Abstract

The analytical capacity models of an airport with two runways system are developed in this paper and the theoretical capacity curves yielded by this model are analysed. The statistic airport capacity estimation methodology based on historical data is introduced as well. Both analytical models and statistic strategy are applied to estimate the capacity of the two runways system of a typical airport. Two sets of airport capacity curves obtained in different ways are compared and analysed. The result of the analysis indicates that the mathematical model works effectively in a fairly accurate way in the estimation of airport capacity.
