A parametric method to enhance decision-making in airport terminal development
A parametric method to enhance decision-making in airport terminal development
Business cases and investment decisions for airports and passenger terminals are generally based on annual flight and passenger number forecasts. However, the design of a new passenger terminal is based on much shorter-term demands, typically a “peak hour”. Conventionally there are two methods for bridging the gap between annual demands and these short-term demands: a design day schedule, or a ratio-based method. There are important practical and theoretical limitations with these methods. In this paper, a complementary method is proposed that provides an improved theoretical basis for determining short-term demands and which can form part of a more informed decision-making process. Its application to a recent terminal design case is discussed.

Abstract
Business cases and investment decisions for airports and passenger terminals are generally based on annual flight and passenger number forecasts. However, the design of a new passenger terminal is based on much shorter-term demands, typically a “peak hour”. Conventionally there are two methods for bridging the gap between annual demands and these short-term demands: a design day schedule, or a ratio-based method. There are important practical and theoretical limitations with these methods. In this paper, a complementary method is proposed that provides an improved theoretical basis for determining short-term demands and which can form part of a more informed decision-making process. Its application to a recent terminal design case is discussed.
