This report provides airports and their stakeholders with a method to assess the risk of lateral runway excursions, also known as veer-offs, and suggests ways to improve veer-off incident/accident reporting. The culmination of the research is the development of the Lateral Runway Safety Area Risk Analysis (LRSARA) tool that practitioners can use to determine the probability of runway veer-offs in specific areas at their particular airport. This report contains eight chapters. Chapter 1 provides a background for the study. Chapter 2 describes the research approach. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss veer-off reporting and data collection, availability, and limitations. Chapters 5 through 7 outline the approach taken to model veer-off risk and to develop and validate the analysis software. Conclusions and suggestions for improved veer-off reporting are provided in Chapter 8. A series of appendices complement the report and software tool, including a template for veer-off reporting, a summary of the data used in the study, and a user guide for the tool. The LRSARA tool can be downloaded from the CD (CRP-CD-145) included with this report or from the Transportation Research Board website (www.trb.org). Two types of analyses are possible with the tool: simplified and full. The simplified analysis uses default or user-defined values. The full analysis allows users to perform risk assessments based on runway dimensions, obstacles, fleet mix, weather data, field elevation, air temperature, and runway surface condition.
