 Abstract

The airside road traffic system at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a non-public road traffic system used by vehicles for the handling process, busses, and enforcers. The problems experienced at the road traffic system of the service roads are delays and traffic accidents. The objective of this research is to find an infrastructural design that improves the effectiveness of the service roads around the piers, measured on travel time, travel distance, robustness, safety, surface used, and costs. One pier, pier B, is used as a case study, along with general configurations of the same pier. The research provides an overview of designs that can be applied to road traffic system, based on public road designs and road designs at other airports. The designs are implemented in the base situation of pier B in the simulation program VISSIM, results from the simulation are used to determine travel time, travel distance, and robustness. Safety is determined with an analysis of the VISSIM trajectories in SSAM. Surface used and costs are part of the design specifications. Based on the assessments of the majority of the stakeholder groups the two-way design with the voorrangsplein is the best design for pier B. Based on this recommendations for further research are made.
