Ben-Gurion International Airport operates 24 hours at day for landing airplanes. The areas in vicinity of Ben-Gurion International Airport are very populated. The noise of the landing airplanes exceeds the common thresholds. This paper examines the current situation and suggests a possible solution.

This white paper describes an approach for improving airport movement area aircraft and vehicle tracking using knowledge-based techniques. This design employs a knowledge-based fusion approach that would take into account airport geography, vehicle movement patterns, static prior data, expert rules, and sensor characteristics heuristics.

We introduce the Enhanced-SLAM, an analytical aggregate model for estimating capacity and delays in airport passenger terminals which may consider also the Baggage Handling System operations. The model, integrated in the OPAL platform, was tested on the new Athens International Airport terminal.

This paper presents an analysis of the choice of airport by air-travellers departing from the San Francisco Bay area. The analysis uses the mixed multinomial logit model, which allows for a random distribution of tastes across decision-makers. To our knowledge, this is the first application using this model form in the analysis of airport choice. The results indicate that there is significant h...

Snowbank samples were collected from snowbanks within a medium-sized airport for four years to characterize aircraft deicer and anti-icer (ADAF) components and toxicity. Concentrations of ADAF components varied with median glycol concentrations from individual sampling periods ranging from 65 to 5940 mg/L. Glycol content in snowbanks ranged from 0.17 to 11.4% of that applied to aircraft. Glycol...

General Aviation (GA) demand forecast plays an important role in aviation management, planning and policy making. The objective of this paper is to develop an airport-level GA demand forecast model. The GA demand at an airport is modeled as a function of social-economic and demographic factors, the availability of supply factors, the competition from the commercial aviation, the number of based...

This paper illustrates how simulation modeling and visualization can be of substantial help in studying airside airport operations, and can greatly contribute in planning and designing construction operations at airports in a way that has the least impact on airside operations. The characteristic that distinguishes the current work is the capability to model and animate airside airport operatio...

The motivation to improve intermodal connectivity at airports results from a growing interest in reducing the volume of highway traffic generated by airport access and egress trips and facilitating the ability of airport travelers to use high-occupancy modes. However, there is a lack of standardized analysis tools for evaluating the viability and impact of different strategies to improve interm...

The relocation of Athens Airport provided a rare experimental context in which residents experienced significant changes in noise levels due to the introduction or removal of aircraft noise. This paper reports the results from surveys around both airport locations, using stated choice experiments to estimate values for aircraft noise. The respondents were offered actual inter-temporal noise cha...
