Airport Schiphol - Behavioural Simulation of a Design Concept

In this paper, we introduce an agent-based simulation of passengers in airport terminal bUildings. A case study is described during which a prototype simulation tool is used to test the impact of a conceptual design change in an existing airport terminal building. We illustrate how this real-time, geometryaware simulation can be generalized and integrated into the design process to support designers in conjiguring the spatial layout of public and functional buildings.
