Numerical analysis of surface congestion factors for modeling of taxi-out times

• Two-component model of taxi-out time • Unimpeded time: solely dependent on taxiing route • Excess time: solely dependent on congestion state • Clear relationships were observed • Length of taxiing route vs. unimpeded time • Excess times vs. congestion parameters • Recorded taxi-out times were reproduced by the proposed taxi-out time model with small errors
