Following a discussion with the airport's operations manager, more accurate data on the take-off and landing of aeroplanes have come to light. Aeroplanes are classified into two sizes: small and large. Small aeroplanes only require a 1.5-minute slot on the runway, while large aeroplanes require 2.5 minutes. It is expected that 70% of aeroplanes will be small. The time between aeroplanes arriving for landing is expected to be as follows: Time between arrival for landing (minutes) Percentage 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 30% 35% 25% 10% The time between arrivals for take-off is expected to be the same. Develop a three-phase discrete-event simulation of the problem. a) Define the B-events and C-events for the problem. b) Create samples from the distributions for inter-arrival time and aeroplane size. c) Simulate a period of operation at the airport.
