Abstract:

Growth in population and economy over the past few decades has had a catalytic impact on the airline industry. While airfield delay and associated congestion cost is a growing concern, accessibility and delays to vehicular traffic on roads leading to airport is another major problem. Estimates of airport vehicle trip ends help study the profound effect of traffic generated by an airport on road infrastructure near the airport. The most current volume of Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual provides equations using data from 3 commercial airports to estimate airport vehicle trip ends. These estimates are based on the airline operations or number of employees. Data from 3 airports is not a statistically significant sample size. In addition, factors such as the number of passengers served by the airport, cargo in tons, population of the region, presence of a large scale transit system, and the number of connecting passengers may have an effect (either increasing or decreasing) on the number of vehicle trip ends generated by airports. This paper presents an assessment of these variables and models along with airline operations or the number of employees to estimate airport vehicle trip ends. The effect of presence of subway or rail link on airport vehicle trip ends is also examined. Data collected for 27 commercial airports in the United States is used to conduct statistical analyses and assess the applicability of models based on statistical parameters to estimate airport vehicle trips ends.
