efficiency-constraints model that identifies key elements of the system affecting system<br />
performance, (3) transition logic diagrams linking operational improvements, technology<br />
solutions, and benefit mechanisms in phased steps, and (4) economic modeling that<br />
assesses the costs, benefits, and risks of the improvements to industry and all stakeholders.<br />
Regional Priorities: <strong>The</strong> process begins with an examination of regional priorities<br />
resulting from assessing current system operational effectiveness. As an example of the<br />
regional priority of an airline, consider Figure 2.13 which presents the distribution of<br />
airport delay by weather and duration. Thunderstorms cause the largest percentage of<br />
delay for longer duration events at 20 major U.S. airports. As the duration increases, so<br />
does an airline’s operational difficulty and disruption of schedule. This kind of data<br />
indicates relative impact of airport operations disruptions by cause of disruption.<br />
Constraints Analysis Model: <strong>The</strong> next part of the process is the constraints analysis<br />
modeling, an example of which is presented in detail in Section 6.3. <strong>The</strong> primary factors<br />
that affect throughput in the various phases of the aircraft’s flight through the system are:<br />
gate, apron, taxiway, runway, initial climb/final approach, vectoring, standard instrument<br />
departures (SID) and standard terminal arrival routes (STAR), and en route operations.<br />
Constraints modeling can be performed for system safety, capacity, efficiency, or<br />
productivity. <strong>The</strong> methodology allows examination of the economic, technological, and<br />
operational implications of the complex interrelationships among demand, capacity, and<br />
delay.<br />
