Simulation of apron taxiway layout pattern in the new terminal area of Nanning airport

Abstract

The ramp taxiway is an important area for aircraft to enter and exit the aircraft space. This paper firstly introduces different numbers of ramp taxiway operation modes, then summarizes their advantages and disadvantages and conducts a comparative analysis. Taking the design of the new terminal area of Nanning Airport as an example, Simmod software is applied to simulate and evaluate three different design and planning schemes. Therefore, the three-lane unidirectional operation scheme is chosen as the final setting layout scheme.
