The lateral and longitudinal profiles of the EAS development show specific features depending on the primary mass due to various particle interaction parameters influencing the development of the particle cascade in the atmosphere. The large muon detector of the ANI Cosmic Ray Observatory on Mt. Aragats gives a good opportunity to measure muon arrival times. In view of a possible extension of the muon underground installation EAS simulations have been performed. They consider various detector configurations with respect to the EAS core position. The observed muon time dispersion show specific trends with increasing radial distance and primary mass. Particularly, simulations based on the GEANT package had been done to study the faked detector signals due to secondaries generated in the surrounding material. A design for upgrading the muon detector array is presented which implies additional fast timing photomultipliers attached to the existing scintillation detectors.
