Under increasing competition and pressure for financial self-sufficiency, airports have adopted various strategies. This paper presents a System Dynamics simulation model exploring relationships between airport, airline, and passengers through fares and fees. The case study is a small to medium size international airport (Perth, WA), fully private and light-hand regulated and the model investig...

A large and detailed data set is used to examine the influence of airports and airport light paths on housing prices. The results indicate that individuals consider airport proximity and airport flight patterns in their housing purchases. This shows that there exist two distinct measurable price gradients that distinguish large airports from small airports. In addition, homes located under the ...

To provide quantitative evidence of the impact on people of a neighboring metropolitan airport, La Guardia Airport (LGA) in New York City, (1) airborne particulate matter (PM) was measured to determine whether concentration differences could be detected between homes that are upwind and downwind of the airport; (2) 24-hr noise measurements were made in 12 homes near the airport; and (3) the imp...

The purpose of this study is to build the binary logit model of an airport pavement that could monitor the pavement condition in near real time using microwave remote sensing satellite, then the relationship between the international roughness index (IRI) of an airport and backscattering values from PALSAR images of the ALOS satellite was determined. Total 390 data were used in analysis. This m...

---With the scale of airport transportation expanding, the level of airport noise pollution is worsening, therefore, installing airport noise monitoring system has been an important method for a lot of airport to monitor the surrounding noise environments. In order to know well the operation of various monitoring points around the airport, this paper presents an assessment model of airport nois...

This paper studies the case of Girona-Costa Brava airport, which is an outstanding example of success in increasing airport activity. Passenger traffic has increased by 770% between 2002 and 2007, and it is expected to keep increasing in the near future. The main factor driving this growth has been the expansion of Ryanair operations. We analyze how the conditions provided by the region and the...

Airport development is increasingly difficult. One of these difficulties stems from uncertainty about future developments. Currently, airport development relies on Airport Master Planning (AMP). The goal of AMP is to provide a detailed blueprint for how the airport should look in the future, and how it can get there. However, among others because of the uncertainty, Master Plans often perform p...

Taxi services are a vital part of urban transportation, and a considerable contributor to traffic congestion and air pollution causing substantial adverse effects on human health. Sharing taxi trips is a possible way of reducing the negative impact of taxi services on cities, but this comes at the expense of passenger discomfort quantifiable in terms of a longer travel time. Due to computationa...

Flight delay prediction has recently gained growing popularity due to the significant role it plays in efficient airline and airport operation. Most of previous works consider single-airport scenario, which overlooks time-varying spatial interactions hidden networks. In this paper, flight problem is investigated from a network perspective (i.e., multi-airport scenario). To model time-evolving p...

Recent events have highlighted the vulnerabilities of airports and aircraft to terrorist attack, and has led to an increased police presence at many airports. Airport policing is designed to protect airport terminals and aircraft from terrorist attack. This paper assesses the risks and cost-effectiveness of Australian Federal Police (AFP) airport counter-terrorism (CT) policing at Australian ai...
