Airport layout planning is a highly complex discipline which requires much forethought, as inadequate or suboptimal solutions could be both dangerous and costly. However, designing a good airport requires compromises between the requirements of all stakeholders involved, ranging from aviation authorities and airlines to passengers and nearby residents. This is a highly delicate issue as evidenc...

Before the opening of the new Munich International Airport and the termination of the old airport, children near both sites were recruited into aircraft-noise groups (aircraft noise at present or pending) and control groups with no aircraft noise (closely matched for socioeconomic status). A total of 326 children (mean age = 10.4 years) took part in three data-collection waves, one before and t...

With the slogan, “Leading the World in IT Airport Applications e-Airport”, an experimental service was recently conducted at Japan's gateway to the world, the New Tokyo International Airport (hereinafter referred to as “Narita Airport”), to provide on the day flight information about aircraft arriving and departing, as well as railroad access information, which was accessible using a mobile pho...

Background: Airport workers are continuously exposed to different levels of radiofrequency microwave (RF/MW) radiation emitted by radar equipments. Radars are extensively used in military and aviation industries. Over the past several years, our lab has focused on the health effects of exposure to different sources of electromagnetic fields such as cellular phones, mobile base stations, mobile ...

Because airports are currently a bottleneck in the ATM system research and development effort is spent in creating high performing airport operations. In order to actively influence airport performance, joint decisions made in an Airport Operations Control Center (APOC) are proposed. This idea raises several research questions; one is in how far guidelines for a structured communication process...

Surface congestion management has received increased attention worldwide, largely due to its potential to mitigate operational inefficiencies and environmental impact. Most prior efforts have focused on demonstrations of a proposed congestion management approach at a particular airport, and not on the adaptation of a particular approach to a range of airport operating environments. This paper p...

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...
