      abstract     = {Airport coordination is key in airport scheduling
                      activities at congested airports. In this strategic capacity
                      management process the allocation of slots – precisely
                      timed operation permits – is required for every take-off
                      and every landing. At this scheduling stage excess demand
                      may occur if the number of slot requests exceeds the number
                      of available slots. Conflict resolution includes both
                      rescheduling and rejecting slot requests. Consequently,
                      airport access cannot be realized as planned by some
                      airlines. This dissertation’s objective is the development
                      of a standardized approach to evaluate the scheduling and
                      slot allocation process. This evaluation is based on the
                      feasibility for demanding airlines to access airport
                      infrastructure as requested. Therefore the term “scheduled
                      delay” – defined as difference between requested and
                      allocated slot times – is introduced as performance
                      indicator. Scheduled delays allow assessing airport
                      coordination results quantitatively and transparently with
                      regard to airport access and can account for an airport’s
                      scheduling performance. Because this approach is unique in
                      air transportation sciences until now, the possible usage of
                      scheduled delays has been discussed accordingly. In Section
                      1 of this thesis the feasibility to access airport
                      infrastructure due to slot allocation decisions is
                      introduced as a relevant performance aspect in airport
                      coordination. Airport access is required by airlines to
                      offer transport services. Operational restrictions as well
                      as passenger habits determine the required access times.
                      Slots will not be allocated as requested, if conflict
                      resolution due to excess demand requires rescheduling or
                      rejection of some slots at least. This scheduling
                      performance aspect impacts on both airline and passenger
                      habits. Section 2 focuses on the airport coordination
                      process itself. With airport coordination data being
                      available for German coordinated airports (schedule periods
                      Summer 2005 and Winter 2005/2006), a detailed process
                      analysis is based on the developments at those airports. The
                      results of this analysis allow abstracting the airport
                      coordination process in Section 3. Slot demand (input
                      parameter and system load), conflict resolution (service
                      process) and allocated slots (output parameter and system
                      throughput) are classified as relevant parameters and
                      dependencies of airport coordination. Scheduled delay is
                      defined as scheduling performance indicator. It measures the
                      temporal deviation between requested slot time and allocated
                      slot time as resulting from conflict resolution. A delay
                      analysis shows significant differences at German coordinated
                      airports with regard to scheduling performance. The
                      empirical results confirm the assumption that when slot
                      utilization (slot demand vs. slot capacity) increases, the
                      average scheduled delays per allocated slot will rise. Since
                      the available airport coordination data does not allow a
                      precise and complete reproduction of this interdependency, a
                      deterministic model approach is defined to predict scheduled
                      delays depending on the level of slot utilization. The
                      conflict resolution as focal part of the airport
                      coordination is modeled. Section 4 finally discusses the
                      possible implementation of scheduled delays in airport
                      planning and management. Now a systematic airport
                      performance measurement framework can be established
                      including both airport scheduling and day-to-day operations.
                      The performance indicator‘s contribution to addressing
                      airport capacity and design issues is focal in its possible
                      usage. An airport’s capability and sufficiency to cope
                      with the given demand can be indicated reliably.},
