Terminal-to-Terminal Fast-Time Modeling and Simulation
AirTOP® airport and airspace simulation software is a comprehensive suite of tools to model, simulate, and visualize airport and air traffic operations—in fast-time. Allowing organizations to study the implications of infrastructural or operational changes before investing in costly and time-consuming construction projects or altering procedures.
Use AirTOP to measure and improve terminal, airside or airspace capacity, pinpoint delays, determine the impact of revised flight schedules, simulate new operational procedures, assess air traffic controller workload, and more. Choose to assess individual aspects of airport and airspace operations or run complete gate-to-gate, or terminal-to-terminal analyses. The software runs hours of procedures in mere minutes, so you can quickly assess outcomes of different scenarios and confidently make decisions that translate into safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations.
AirTOP is a modular solution, offering the flexibility to purchase the modules you need with the option to add modules over time. Take a look at the airport and airspace modules below and see what suits your needs best.
Analyze passenger terminal performance, capacity, and resource allocation by modeling operational processes and people & baggage flows.
Study aircraft operations, review performance indicators and test scenarios to optimize procedures, validate designs and improve capacity.
Extend airside studies by modeling the movements and handling procedures of support equipment vehicles.
Optimize runway system throughput and performance, including demand and schedules, fleet mix, and modes of operation.
Boost terminal airspace performance by modeling approach and departure procedures and simulating air traffic flows.
Assess en route airspace metrics by modeling and evaluating air traffic control procedures in high fidelity.
Extend en route studies by modeling air traffic flow management concepts such as 4D trajectories ad demand-capacity balancing.
Integrate real-time air traffic demand to forecast complexity & controller workload, assess what-if scenarios, and support area control center decisions.

What Makes AirTOP Unique
Visualize the problem - and the solution - in 2D and 3D
Seeing a problem often makes it easier to identify solutions. To test different scenarios and measure impacts, AirTOP accurately simulates all user-defined airport and airspace operations, as well as rules, multi-agent tasks, and behaviors. A single graphical user interface provides easy scenario editing, as well as viewing of simulations in 2D and 3D. AirTOP features an easy-to-use integrated map-based application containing GIS capabilities, to allow a flexible background display of scanned maps, aeronautical charts or vector data, weather data, satellite images, and elevation data.
Customize data for better decision-making
AirTOP data is highly customizable and can be extracted and visualized using hundreds of built-in reports, or exported as spreadsheets or SQL databases for presentation to stakeholders. Create videos of simulations to portray the impacts of different scenarios to decision-makers. The project management tool allows users to define scenario variants while avoiding data duplication.
Purchase only the modules you need
AirTOP modules integrate with one another on a common platform to offer a scalable feature set. An airport project may begin with the Airside Aircraft module, and as operations grow in size or complexity, additional modules such as Airside Vehicle or TMA/TRACON can be added to extend the software’s capabilities.
Make better, more-informed decisions
Complicated decisions involving multiple moving parts require more than a simple spreadsheet. When considering making changes to airport or airspace operations or infrastructure, AirTOP assists with infomed decision making. Accurately model any airport or airspace operation, and run fast-time simulations of complex scenarios to test options and examine all the ‘what-ifs.’
Get the most out of airport and airspace operations and capacity
At an airport, delays of minutes and the associated knock-on effects can translate into impacts on the bottom line. AirTOP’s broad spectrum of tools allows users to assess how scenarios impact various aspects of airport operations, and how decisions play out in terms of costs and efficiency.

Licensing Options
Transoft Solutions offers a range of licensing preferences for the majority of our software. These different options were developed to help small, sole proprietorships right on up to the largest multinational organizations meet their transportation design and analysis needs in the most efficient manner possible. Transoft software uses our own proprietary licensing technology that allows for ease of deployment and flexibility to upgrade at anytime.
NETWORK LICENSE
A network license allows everyone within an office location to access the software from the company server with one person concurrently using at a time. Network licenses are not tied to a particular workstation or user. Multiple network license seats can be purchased and a license server keeps track of how many licenses are in use at one time. When a Transoft Solutions software on a network license starts, it first checks to see if a network license is available to use. If so, a license is then checked out from the pool of licenses. When a user exits the application, the license gets checked back into the pool making it available to other users.
Advantages of a Network License:
• Network licensing simplifies software asset management because the licenses are resident on license managers instead of on each of the workstations across the network. The license manager can be configured to log historical usage data.
• Licenses are available to all workstations connected to the company server network software asset utilization.
