Summary
T51 Complementary requirements for ground architecture and ground support M1221Requirements for airport ground architecture and ground support shall be established Focal point shall be on the turnaround process To enable acceptable turnaround times requirements for battery charging and storage facilities and other ground support as well as refuelling facilities shall be established Alternate means like rapid replacement of battery packs shall be investigated The assessment will be conducted by means of simulating the turnaround process An existing simulation environment will be enhanced for the purpose of this proposal The turnaround simulation currently developed within the SE2A cluster follows a flowbased modeling approach where socalled entities move as commodities through a network from node to node Entities in this case a particular aircraft can be assigned with attributes which can be manipulated during the course of the entity throughout the network of the turnaround thus affecting its proceeding within the process The part of the ground simulation provides hierarchical modelling and stochastic functionalities to provide easy adaption to requirements Furthermore the infrastructure adapted to a new charging process could by modeled as well Since the entity based modeling approach allows for an unlimited number of entities within a model as well as an unlimited number of attributes to be assigned to them the level of detail can be adapted gradually This for example applies to the specifications of such vehicles as well as infrastructure or topological aspects Responsible TUBS contribution TUD
