Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport (Germany)

Passenger Flow and Layout Optimization

2002

Berlin-Schönefeld International Airport In 2002 Berlin Schönefeld International Airport's departure area was redesigned to integrate additional retail space into the existing terminal building and to redirect passenger flow to make this additional space attractive to potential concessionaires.

Logplan was contracted by Berlin Schönefeld International Airport to provide solutions for optimizing existing terminal areas and verify retail development plans. A simulation tool was developed in order to analyze passenger flow and capacity for check-in areas, security checkpoints, passport control zones, retail areas, waiting areas and gates for the departure portion of the terminal building.

Several layout changes were suggested by Logplan and subsequently implemented by the Airport.
