  • Dynamic aviation planning tool
    Patent number: 9189824
    Abstract: A method for airport dynamic aviation planning is disclosed. The method includes the steps of populating an existing conditions database comprising an inventory of existing conditions data at the airport, defining an aviation planning scenario with a graphical user interface by selecting input parameters, developing, by a processor, a future growth forecast comprising future levels of aviation activity at the airport in response to the selected input parameter, generating, by a processor, a facility requirements summary needed to satisfy the selected input parameter by comparing the difference between the future growth forecast and the existing conditions data, and generating, by a processor, a dynamic airport layout plan graphically representing the facility requirements.
