Product catalog summary
Overview
The Airport Research Center (ARC) specializes in optimizing airport operations and infrastructure through advanced simulation tools and expert knowledge. Their services encompass airport master planning, airside and terminal planning, market analysis, aeronautical studies, and level of service assessments.
Master Planning
ARC develops and optimizes airport master plans, ensuring compliance with ICAO standards. Their services include aeronautical studies, environmental impact assessments, and layout development for runways, taxiways, and terminals, along with capacity calculations and functional planning.
Airside Planning and Simulation
ARC focuses on validating and optimizing airside infrastructure, accelerating planning processes, and conducting capacity studies. Their goal is to enhance resource utilization and operational strategies to improve capacity and reduce costs.
Terminal Planning and Simulation
Using the CAST Terminal simulation system, ARC evaluates and improves terminal facilities by analyzing capacity, optimizing passenger flow, and enhancing architectural design. This approach aims to improve terminal functionality and prevent unnecessary investments.
Market Analysis and Forecast
ARC conducts market potential analysis and traffic forecasting, considering economic and demographic factors. They provide detailed forecasts for peak hours and design day flight schedules to support strategic infrastructure and business planning.
Aeronautical Studies
ARC performs hazard identification and mitigation planning, ensuring compliance with international standards. They offer detailed planning for airside facilities and obstacle assessments using advanced CAD tools for visualization.
Level of Service Assessment
ARC uses simulation tools to assess and improve terminal service levels, identifying bottlenecks and testing mitigation measures. They provide realistic visualizations to support decision-making processes and enhance passenger experience.
Low Cost High Quality Terminal
ARC designs modular and expandable terminals that balance cost-effectiveness with high functionality, aided by CAST simulation for efficient construction.
Terminal Design and Planning
ARC employs CAST Terminal simulation software to validate and optimize terminal designs, covering architecture, operating characteristics, functional requirements, cost optimization, and interior design. A notable project includes the modular terminal extension at Kharkiv International Airport in Ukraine.
Declared Capacity Determination
ARC assists in determining declared capacities for slot coordination by analyzing flight schedules and simulating traffic loads. Their approach, recognized by major airports like Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Doha, optimizes traffic volumes and reduces delays.
Security Optimization
ARC enhances airport security processes by optimizing lane layouts, staffing, and operational concepts. Their simulations identify bottlenecks and improve throughput, adapting to regulatory changes and integrating new screening technologies, with references including airports in Cologne, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf.
