Perimeter Taxiways at DFW

In 2003, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) began real-time, human-in-the-loop simulations that demonstrated the effect of adding perimeter taxiways. During the tests, air traffic controllers, pilots and officials from DWF, the FAA and NASA evaluated numerous scenarios at NASA Ames Research Center's FutureFlight Central (FFC) and Crew Vehicle Systems Research Facility (CVSRF) to verify the cost benefit and paper studies on the perimeter taxiways.
