Download or read book Evaluation of the Role and Needs of Agricultural Airports in Texas written by Jeffrey D. Borowiec and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the role and needs of airports that serve the agricultural communities in Texas. The significance of agriculture to the state is addressed and agricultural airports are identified. The major crops produced in the state are categorized by region and the level of aerial application activity that they generate is discussed. The specific needs of agricultural airports are identified with respect to the level of aerial application activity, the economic significance of the state's crops, and the technological trends of the agricultural aircraft industry. Specific recommendations are presented with respect to supporting agricultural airports through the planning and programming process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the cargo industry continues to grow, with air cargo identified as the fastest growing segment within the cargo industry. The value of freight moved by air has doubled since 1993 and currently exceeds $2.7 billion per day. During that same period, the typical freight shipment distance increased 40 percent, partly due to the distances of the air cargo movements. Because most air cargo shipments begin and end using trucks, growth in this segment will undoubtedly create additional growth in truck movements in and around the airport environment. It has been more than 30 years since the state has made a comprehensive review of the air cargo business within its borders. In that time, much has changed in Texas, in the United States, and across the globe. The industry has changed through consolidation and mergers with ground transportation companies, in the services they provide, and in the current level of technology employed. The world is a different place, our economies have been transformed, and the nature of doing business has altogether changed. So far, the impact of growth in air cargo on the Texas transportation system has gained little attention when compared to issues related to seaport traffic. The research objective for this project is to better understand the operations of the air cargo industry in Texas in order to better accommodate the industry's needs, provide for a more efficient transportation network, better utilize general aviation facilities, and provide for economic development across the state. This research identifies the existing demand for air cargo movement in Texas, the ground facilities available to process this demand, and a network that would be efficient and responsive to the needs of industry stakeholders. It also identifies the state's network of existing air cargo facilities, both those handling existing air cargo activity and those capable of handling air cargo in the future.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) is a series of multimodal transportation corridors traversing approximately 4,000 miles (6,440 km) in rural Texas that includes ten controlled-access toll lanes for passenger cars and commercial trucks, six rail lines for high-speed rail, commuter rail, and freight rail, and a 200 foot (61 m) wide utility zone. The TTC will allow for faster and safer movement of people and goods throughout Texas, relieve congestion on existing roadways, divert hazardous materials away from urban areas, and stimulate economic growth and development along its path. However, to become fully integrated with the Texas transportation network, the TTC must also consider connections with the state’s extensive airport system. While the TTC could produce significant opportunities for commercial services and general aviation airports, many of its planners and engineers are not familiar with the special land use and connectivity needs of airports. While the TTC offers prospects for producing significant opportunities to commercial service and general aviation airports, it also has the potential to limit their safety, operation, and expansion if planned poorly. Possible airport benefits include increased usage due to improved airport user access and indirectly to economic development along its path. Potential challenges include infringement on approaches and approach procedures, restriction of airport growth, limited accessibility or connectivity to the TTC, and competition with land-based modes for passenger and freight movement. Integrating Texas airports into the overall multimodal TTC design will leverage intermodal transportation for intercity travel and freight movement throughout Texas

Download or read book Texas Airport Systems Plan Air Passenger Demand Model Model Test and Evaluation written by Ralph E. Foster and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Airport System Plan (TASP) is intended to identify locations where facility deficiencies are anticipated in the airport system of the State of Texas and to develop alternative courses of action designed to prevent the potential deficiencies. A deficiency is identified when, at some future time within the planning horizon, demand upon a facility exceeds its capacity. Total demand has been divided into three areas--commercial air passenger, cargo, and general aviation--which have been forecasted for planning subdivisions of the State. Forecasts of commercial air passenger demand have been prepared through the use of a complex model. The purpose of this report is to present the rationale for the selection of the methodology employed in the design and development of the Air Passenger Demand Model, to review the procedures used to test and calibrate the model, and to evaluate the model and the forecasts which it produces.
