Throughput reduction on an air-ground transport system by the simultaneous effect of multiple traveling routes equipped with parking sites

Abstract

This paper examines the traffic flows on a two-dimensional stochastic lattice model that comprises a junction of two traveling routes: the domestic route and the international route each of which has parking sites. In our model, the system distributes the arrived particles to either of the two routes and selects one of the parking sites in the route for each particle, which stops at the parking site once during its travel. Because each particle has antennas in the back and front directions to detect other approaching particles, the effect of the volume exclusion of each particle extends in the moving direction. The system displays interesting behavior; remarkably, the dependence of the throughput on the distribution ratio of particles to the domestic route reduces after reaching the maximum parking capacity of the domestic route. Our simulations and analysis with the queueing model describe this phenomenon and suggest the following fact: as the distribution ratio of particles to the international route decreases, the throughput of the international route reduces, and simultaneously, that of the domestic route saturates. The simultaneous effect of the decrease and saturation causes a reduction in the throughput of the entire system.

Analyzing Stochastic Features in Airport Surface Traffic Flow Using Cellular Automaton: Tokyo International Airport

“…In this study, CA simulation on a two-dimensional lattice model proposed by Tsuzuki et al [26] was used to reproduce the airport surface traffic flow at Tokyo International Airport. In this section, a basic description of the CA and the newly implemented velocity-setting method and runway rules are presented.…”

“…For this antenna length, the minimum separation between aircrafts is approximately one aircraft size when the antennas cross each other. See [26] for details on the priority and pattern of stop instructions.…”

“…Mazur et al [25] simulated surface traffic flows at Dusseldorf Airport and investigated the impact of two scenarios: a single runway closure and new runway extension. Tsuzuki et al [26] conducted CA simulations for Fukuoka Airport with a junction of two taxiing routes, where particles have a volume exclusion rule to avoid collision. They revealed the relationship between throughput and route ratio.…”

Effect of congestion avoidance due to congestion information provision on optimizing agent dynamics on an endogenous star network topology

“…However, the applications of these theories to complex real-world transport networks are limited. As a remedial measure, cellular automata 16,17 or multi-agent simulations have been utilized as supportive but powerful approaches to complex network problems [18][19][20] .Elucidating the effect of agents' congestion avoidance on their collective dynamics in basic topologies can help deepen the understanding of the mechanism of "traffic jams" in various network sciences. However, such an effect has not been fully discussed in multivariate statistics.…”
