A Boeing Company The role of Simulation in installation of Explosive Detection Systems Auckland June 03 Helping our customers increase the efficiency,capacity and safety of the global aviation industry through the provision of integrated simulation, decision support and scheduling solutions

A subsidiary of The Boeing Company The Task A Boeing Company Auckland June 03 3 Following 11 th September 2001 reaction by US government – introduce 100% screening across the country Requirement - install combination of EDS and ETD stations at 438 US airports Boeing awarded contract to oversee the effective installation of machines into airports Engineering, architectural, airport consultants and construction firms required for the exercise Tender developed and released for bid early 2002

A Boeing Company Issues to be Addressed Auckland June 03 4 Model airport using data from architects & planners  What number, location, and combination of machines?  What protocol to best process people and bags?  What space is required for machines and people?  Identify modelling resources and conduct training  What queue and procedure setup for maximum efficiency?  Passenger flow pattern optimization  Baggage room processing procedures  Passenger and baggage matching  Passenger and baggage tracking from check-in to loading

Beginning TSA project A Boeing Company Auckland June 03 5 Create template models for various security protocols to determine most workable combinations  100% ETD post ticketing, Solution 1  Simultaneous ETD check-in (Southwest Airlines)  100% ETD post ticketing, Solution 2  100% ETD pre-ticketing  EDS/ETD hybrid post-ticketing  100% EDS post ticketing

Simulation was used to… A Boeing Company Model an entire airport terminal environment or just discrete areas Associate every passenger and every bag with a specific flight, provide a description and security processing record Reduce risk and offer cost avoidance opportunities by analyzing proposed changes and what-if scenarios Determine processing system’s capacity limits, hardware and staffing requirements, over any time period of interest Assist managers and designers by predicting delays or problems for nearly any aspect of passenger and baggage processing Auckland June 03 6

Lessons Learnt A Boeing Company Auckland June 03 7 Early planning – avoid undue inconvenience Recognised PaxSim’s comprehensive planning capability and visualisation features very valuable for decision-making Critical - Communication from outset with stakeholders Modelling and simulation is key

Creating a cycle of increased safety, efficiency and capacity growth Preston Aviation Solutions A Boeing Company Preston Simulation and Scheduling Products Auckland June 03 8

9 A Boeing Company Optimize Implement “what if” Simulate Optimized resource allocation based on to strategic planning data Simulate based on resource allocation and planned schedule Analyse using further “what if’s” to overcome operational constraints Implement operational plan with greater confidence Auckland June 03 Summary

Helping our customers increase the efficiency, capacity and safety of the global aviation industry through the provision of integrated simulation, decision support and scheduling solutions Managing Tomorrow Today
