The Airport Research focuses on the implementation of the ACARE goals to improve traffic flow at airports. The main focus here is on landside airport management and airport simulation. The following core themes are considered:

• Optimisation of airport processes with regard to passengers, luggage and freight
• Development of support systems in the framework of a total airport management
• Assessment of technologies and methods with regard to safety/security relevant effects by means of real-time and fast-time simulations
