Download or read book Achieving Airport compatible Land Uses and Minimizing Hazardous Obstructions in Navigable Airspace written by Jocelyn Waite and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses airport compatible land use requirements, the legal issues related to achieving airport compatible land use, and legal issues particular to eliminating hazardous obstructions to airspace. The report concludes by reviewing the major legal issues of concern in achieving airport-compatible land use. While general legal principles relevant to airport land use are well established, they are often applied on a case by case basis, particularly in the context of regulatory takings and inverse condemnation. This ad hoc analysis introduces, if not an element of unpredictability, at least some variation in the law by jurisdiction. The need for greater predictability highlights the significance of including airport zoning as part of comprehensive land use planning. This report should be helpful to airport administrators, attorneys, board members, financial officers, community members in the vicinity of airports, realtors, and city and county zoning officials.

Download or read book Airport Offsite Passenger Service Facilities written by Arkopal K. Goswami and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offsite airport facilities provide ground transportation, baggage and passenger check in, and other transportation services to departing air passengers from a remote location. The purpose of this study was to develop models to determine the airports that might be candidates for such a facility and estimate the percentage of travelers that would choose to use one to access the airport. Offsite airport facility operations were examined in New York, Los Angeles, Zurich, London, and Hong Kong, and passenger data were obtained from surveys distributed at six U.S. airports. A total of 1,700 air-traveler questionnaires were completed at four airports without offsite facilities, i.e., Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO), Norfolk International Airport (ORF), and Richmond International Airport (RIC), and at two airports with offsite facilities that provide ground transportation only, i.e., Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The survey results show that 68% of passengers who traveled directly to the airport terminal would consider using an offsite airport facility if available. Of the passengers who currently use an offsite airport facility that provides only ground transportation, almost 70% indicated that their access would be improved by expanded services including baggage and passenger check in. The two main reasons cited for using the offsite airport facilities surveyed in this study were reduced travel time variability (43%) and lower cost (39%). With the data collected at the six airports, two models were developed sequentially to determine the demand for offsite facilities. The airport access quality model was used to establish initial demand by assuming that the likelihood of a viable offsite facility is directly proportional to the difficulty, or resistance, encountered during the current access trip to the airport. This model yielded expected results when tested with a former offsite airport facility. The offsite facility usage model was used to determine the probability of passengers using an offsite facility while accessing an airport and accurately estimated 58% of the test set responses. The airport access quality model develops a value for total resistance and ranks the airports according to the current difficulty encountered by passengers during their access trip to the airport. When applied to three Virginia airports, passengers accessing RIC had the largest total resistance. Accordingly, RIC is considered to have the highest potential demand for an offsite facility. The offsite airport facility usage model was based on flight departure time and variability in ground travel time as predictors of the final demand. For example, the model estimated an offsite airport facility demand of 74% for passengers departing between 8 and 10:30 A.M. when ground travel times vary by 45 min (rounded to the nearest 15-min interval). For passengers departing before 8:00 A.M. and with a ground travel time that varies by no more than 5 min, the models estimated demand at only 26%. The offsite airport facility usage model was also used to identify the zones (defined by zip codes) where potential use of offsite terminals is substantial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each new generation of commercial aircraft produces less noise and fewer emissions per passenger-kilometer (or ton-kilometer of cargo) than the previous generation. However, the demand for air transportation services grows so quickly that total aircraft noise and emissions continue to increase. Meanwhile, federal, state, and local noise and air quality standards in the United States and overseas have become more stringent. It is becoming more difficult to reconcile public demand for inexpensive, easily accessible air transportation services with concurrent desires to reduce noise, improve local air quality, and protect the global environment against climate change and depletion of stratospheric ozone. This situation calls for federal leadership and strong action from industry and government. U.S. government, industry, and universities conduct research and develop technology that could help reduce aircraft noise and emissions-but only if the results are used to improve operational systems or standards. For example, the (now terminated) Advanced Subsonic Technology Program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) generally brought new technology only to the point where a system, subsystem model, or prototype was demonstrated or could be validated in a relevant environment. Completing the maturation process-by fielding affordable, proven, commercially available systems for installation on new or modified aircraft-was left to industry and generally took place only if industry had an economic or regulatory incentive to make the necessary investment. In response to this situation, the Federal Aviation Administration, NASA, and the Environmental Protection Agency, asked the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of the National Research Council to recommend research strategies and approaches that would further efforts to mitigate the environmental effects (i.e., noise and emissions) of aviation. The statement of task required the Committee on Aeronautics Research and Technology for Environmental Compatibility to assess whether existing research policies and programs are likely to foster the technological improvements needed to ensure that environmental constraints do not become a significant barrier to growth of the aviation sector.

Download or read book A Guide To U S Aircraft Noise Regulatory Policy written by Sanford Fidell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation noise remains the primary hindrance to expansion of airport and airspace capacity in the United States. This book describes the development and practice of U.S. aircraft noise regulation, as well as the practical consequences of regulatory policy. Starting in the pre-jet transport era, the book traces the development of the modern framework for characterizing, standardizing, predicting, disclosing, and mitigating aircraft noise and its effects on airport-vicinity communities. Among other matters, the book treats noise-related consequences of the 1978 deregulation of the airline industry; prediction and mitigation of community reaction to airport noise; land use compatibility planning; recent research and industry trends; and some suggestions for potential improvements to current policy. Initial chapters describe the assumptions underlying aircraft noise regulation, and lay out the chronology of U.S. aircraft noise regulatory practice. Later chapters provide overviews of population-level effects of aviation noise, including health effects, speech and sleep interference, and annoyance. Readers will learn why predictions of the prevalence of aircraft noise-induced annoyance have systematically underestimated adverse community response to aircraft noise, and how such underestimation has complicated approval and funding of airport and airspace improvement projects. They will also learn why attempts at noise-compatible land use planning are seldom fully successful.
