CPN-simulation methodology for the boarding process of aircraft
Authors: Miguel Mujica Mota, Idalia Flores, Daniel Guimarans
Abstract
The boarding process of an aircraft is one of the identified bottlenecks in the turnaround when theaircraft arrives to an airport. The present article presentsa methodology that models the key aspects of a boarding process using coloured Petri nets in order tounderstand the detail what are the main micro-dynamicsand cause-effect relationships that hinder the smoothboarding process. Then the different models areintegrated at a different level using a discrete-eventprogram to simulate in detail the boarding process. The combination of both techniques reinforce mutually in such a way the development process id veryefficient for developing micro-models when the dynamics are difficult to understand. This kind of appoach can be used for testing different boardingconfigurations and improve the efficiencey of the studiedprocess while reducing the cost associated to the process
