N2  - The reduction of runway occupancy time through the use of high-speed exits is one of the research activites carried out to improve the operational use of runways. Proper hardware and software technologies are being developed to minimize runway occupancy time per landing aircraft in future air traffic control environments. On the software side, a probabilistic computer model is being used to define exit velocities, exit locations, and turnoff path profiles under automated landing, rollout, and high-speed turnoffs using embedded magnetic cable sensors. However, the computer model does not determine how to combine these exit locations into a practical number of turnoffs that satisfy various aircraft mixes. The focus of this paper is on clustering these exit locations into a minimum number without cost-burdening any one class and violating the objective of minimizing the total runway occupancy time of landing aircraft in a real airport environment.
