Implementing a Perimeter Taxiway at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport: Evaluation of Operating Policy Impacts

Publication: Aviation: A World of Growth

Abstract

A perimeter taxiway (PT) or end-around taxiway (EAT) operation is a new concept being developed at several airports with parallel runways around the United States to reduce the number of active departure runway crossings during peak periods. PTs will enhance capacity by permitting uninterrupted, safe, continuous takeoffs and landings and improve safety by reducing the likelihood of runway incursions. For this research, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport's (DFW) proposed PT operations are considered for analysis and evaluation. This concept is tested using Visual SIMMOD simulation modeling software where the input data is based on actual historical DFW flight data and preliminary design documents. The PT operational analysis is based on the simulation results using forecast air traffic data for 2010. The operations analysis, and the standard taxiway procedures and guidelines developed based on the simulation gives an indication of the types of operational issues that may develop at DFW and other airports after PT implementation.
