碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 運輸工程與管理系 === 88 === This thesis applied the Airport and Airspace Simulation Model (SIMMOD) to analyze the Taipei-Kaohsiung air transportation corridor. SIMMOD is a computer simulation package developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States in 1970''s. The SIMMOD has been widely applied in analyzing and planning for airports and airspace system in United States and Europe. In this research we developed a multi-airport simulation model system including both Taipei (TSA) and Kaohsiung (KHS) airports as well as the airspace in between. The Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) and interview-in-person data of both airports were collected to develop the basic simulation model. The model was calibrated and validated by observed field operational data and the automated ATC (air traffic control) data. This research compared the simulated outcome of the SIMMOD model with the observed data of the TSA and KHS airports. The results showed that the average deviations were all less than 7%. For prediction applications, we considered several scenarios such as the air traffic growth which would represent near-saturation or even over-saturation operations of the airport under existing air traffic control environment and influence as some en-route be changed. We then applied the Gilbo model to estimate the runway capacity of TSA and KHS based on the simulation output of those growth scenarios in terms of the number of arrival and departure flights in the peak period. The estimated airport capacity is 36 flights per hour of TSA and 34 flights per hour of KHS. We also investigated the possible additional time slots of TSA airports through the flights arrival and departure time assigned by SIMMOD model.
