The increased movement of people can put extreme pressures on existing
passenger terminals and challenge the design of new terminals. Jacobs
Consultancy has developed specialised skills and software over the
last 20 years to assist clients in both the optimisation of existing
infrastructure and the efficient design and planning of new terminals.
Jacobs Consultancy is a world leader in terminal planning, having
worked on numerous prestigious projects including:
- Heathrow Airport Terminal 5, UK
- Washington Dullus Airport, USA
- Bahrain Airport, Bahrain
- Waterloo International Railway Terminal, UK
- Proposed St Pancras International Railway Terminal, UK
- King’s Cross Passenger Flow Study, UK
- Paddington Station, Heathrow Express, UK
- SSR Airport, Mauritius
- Ashford International Railway Terminal, UK
Jacobs Consultancy uses a variety of software to develop the most
appropriate design solutions which satisfy the clients'
requirements:
- The ARRIVE and DEPART models, developed by Jacobs Consultancy,
simulate the movement of passengers, and their baggage, to assist and validate
the detailed terminal design.
- The PEDROUTE and PAM models may be used in isolation or together
to simulate flows through underground and surface rail terminals
as well as evacuation testing and optimisation of retail facilities.
- The GART programs analyse road infrastructure requirements, such
as forecourt length, taxi queuing and car parking for new terminals
as well as generating traffic flow forecasts for detailed assessments
of the local road network.
- STORM is an airside roads program which is driven by aircraft and
vehicle activity schedules to supply traffic flow forecasts for
use in assessing road capacity effects and can also be applied in
operational planning.
Jacobs Consultancy has now integrated the in-house passenger simulation
models with Virtual Reality technology to provide high quality user-friendly
graphics of simulated passenger and vehicle movements. We have the technical expertise and unrivalled software capability to
take the client through
in the planning of any terminal.
