Abstract: The Simple Landside Aggregate Model (SLAM) is a model for estimating capacity and delays in airport passenger terminals. SLAM is designed to answer “what if†questions about alternative configurations of the various processing and holding facilities in a terminal. It consists of a network of modules, one for each facility of the terminal. These modules are based on a set of quite simple mathematical formulas to be used for the estimation of the capacity of each facility (in terms of passengers per hour) and the level of service (LOS) associated with it. LOS is quantified both in terms of “space available per facility occupant†and waiting time for being processed.
