Airport curbside roadways serve to provide (a) loading and unloading areas for vehicles and (b) circulation lanes for vehicles approaching, departing, and traveling adjacent to the curbside areas. This dual-purpose travel/parking characteristic is not usually considered in standard traffic simulations. Leigh Fisher Associates has developed the Leigh Fisher Associates' Curbside Traffic Simulation (LFACTS) Model to specifically address this issue. This paper discusses the theory and assumptions driving LFACTS and provides examples of how it has been applied at select airports.
