Simulation-based education (SE) refers to the use of simulation software, tools, and serious
games to enrich the teaching and learning processes. Advances in both computer hardware …

A new approach is proposed to stochastically model parallel turnaround operations. Based
on a microscopic process model, this paper introduces analytical and simulative methods to …

Predicting the target time of an aircraft turnaround is of major importance for the tactical
control of airport and airline network operations. Nevertheless, this turnaround time is …

Airport Collaborative Decision Making (ACDM) flight scheduling plans rely on accurate
predictions of both optimal and reliable aircraft turnaround times, which is one of the most …

Performance indicators to measure delay and delay improvement within the system are the
non-operation period of an aircraft, the distance and time by ground vehicles needed to get …

This paper presents several experiences regarding Operations Research (OR) and
Simulation education activities in three master programs, each of them offered at a different …

The air transport infrastructure is important and prominent. The current aviation system is
already vulnerable and the advent of more automation and pervasion of standard IT in the …

This thesis presents a framework consisting of cabin design heuristics, agent-based
passenger flow simulations, turnaround modeling and operational cost determination to …

Airport ground processes are a critical path in the air traffic network. The management and
reliability of the scheduled turnaround time is essential for the system's robustness and …

This paper focuses on the prioritization of certain ground vehicles and improving turnaround
times of airplanes at the apron of the Riga International Airport. This leads to a hastening of …
