An additional benefit of the technique is visible when comparing the routing flow diagram and the base network image in the previous section: A groundnet with proper routing uses less nodes and segments than a full network, saving you time during the building phase. In fact, as you get more familiar with the technique you will realize it is a good idea to map your routing flow before building your groundnet so you create just enough nodes and segments. It is also important to know that you do NOT need to mark each and every segment as "unidirectional" but only the ones forming your Y shaped intersections. | An additional benefit of the technique is visible when comparing the routing flow diagram and the base network image in the previous section: A groundnet with proper routing uses less nodes and segments than a full network, saving you time during the building phase.

The belt technique can easily be adjusted to the specific shape of different airports: | The belt technique can easily be adjusted to the specific shape of different airports: All of KJFK’s traffic is routed with only 2 belts set as concentric rings running in opposite directions. The inner ring connects all the aprons in an infinite loop; the external ring connects all the runways in a similar loop. A small number of “transfer belts” allow aircrafts to move from one belt to the other. | ||

You can have a look at existing groundnets’ routing to better understand how this technique can be applied to your project. VVNB has the most basic version; LEMD and LFPG have very elaborate ones. | You can have a look at existing groundnets’ routing to better understand how this technique can be applied to your project.
