This report covers the development of an off-line taxi planning model for the Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS). This system is currently under development to enhance the efficiency of the airport ground movements, while maintaining a high level of safety in all weather conditions. The output of the taxi planning model is an output file that can be used as the input file for the Simulator for Airport Surface Traffic (SIMAST). The programming techniques used for the taxi planning model are Linear Programming and Mixed Integer Programming. It is solved using CPLEX which is a tool designed for solving such techniques. The requirements which the model has to meet are given and explained in this report. The model can minimize three values (the total taxi time and the total waiting time of all aircraft and the difference between the actual and planned time of arrival at the takeoff runway for all departing aircraft) and maximize one value (the number of aircraft reaching the takeoff runway on the planned time). To test the taxi planning model, a prototype airport has been designed.
