MUC-Sim

Munich Airport Simulation for Dynamic Airside Planning and Operations

MUC-Sim is a project that focuses on the development of a system for creating planning and optimization approaches for handling processes at Munich Airport Terminal 2. An essential part of this is the development of an agent-based simulation of the handling processes for validation and fault analysis.
The project is funded by two industrial partners, Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Flughafen München GmbH, and is led by the Chair of Aviation Systems at the Technical University of Munich. To ensure efficient implementation, the project is divided into three overarching work packages, each leveraging the specific expertise of the participating chairs. The Chair of Aviation Systems (TUM) is responsible for developing a comprehensive catalog of requirements and detailed process descriptions. In the second work package, the Chair of Operations Management is tasked with designing optimization models and implementing them using real data to derive practical solutions. The Professorship of Travel Behavior (TUM) is responsible for creating an operational simulation model of the airport and developing coordinated scenarios within the third work package.
