A computer model designed to serve as an aid to decision-making in operational planning and control of new passenger terminals is described. The methodological procedure, the bases for programming, and the testing of the plausibility of the computer model are described. Applications of the computer simulation procedure are outlined including the effects of various parameter alterations. These parameters include: flight plan and load factor of aircraft based on the use of larger aircraft types; passenger processing procedures based on the processing of all passengers by one processing company; and passengers' behavior on arrival at the terminal in cases where check-in time is brought forward owing to stricter security checks. The effects of these parameters on waiting time for passengers and baggage and utilization of the most important terminal areas and the apron are addressed in relation to the processing procedures involved and the personnel strength available for processing. The effects of parameter alterations are shown and discussed for several examples.
