ABSTRACT
Large infrastructure systems like airports are complex,
consisting of various subsystems that are interconnected
dynamically to each other. Modelling only one
subsystem, although the research question addresses
only that subsystem, can lead to error propagations, as
dynamic system effects are underestimated. Extending
the system boundaries after identification of the
dynamic effects can lead to trade-offs when the chosen
modelling method gets to its limits. Combined systems
require multi-method modelling where diverse
subsystems are modelled with the respectively best
fitting modelling method. These subsystems are
connected via specifically defined interfaces to get a
model that represents the large system. Multi-method
modelling allows using all advantages of the different
modelling methods by coupling them and give a more
natural way of seeing the system. Different coupling
methods found in literature are presented and basic
concepts for modelling airports and its subsystems are
proposed.
