Halcrow is proud to be the first consultancy in the UK to offer airport modelling and simulation using ARCport ALT* software.

Halcrow has the ability to construct powerful models of airport terminals and simulate the movement of passengers and baggage, offering real benefits to any professional involved with terminal development decisions.

The ability to develop plans and test options prior to implementation provides significant cost savings when optimizing solutions.

As well as terminal simulation, ARCport ALT can be used to focus independently on specific areas such as the gate assignment process and baggage handling systems.

The 3-Dimensional ARCport model is usually created from CAD drawings. However, Halcrow’s Geomatics team has laser scanning equipment which also enables us to capture an existing physical environment for use within ARCport.

The key skills we provide in this area include:

airport terminal simulation
visualization of complex passenger and baggage flows using recordable 3D animation
optimization of existing and planned facilities to save implementation costs
tailoring facilities close to actual and forecast demand
assessing the performance of planned facilities and layout prior to implementation
testing and comparison of a number of options for evaluation
providing Level of Service enhancement
gate assignment functionality
dynamic reporting and presentation producing compelling results, to inform both expert and non-expert opinion
