Title:

PLANNING GROUND TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES FOR AIRPORTS

Accession Number:

00241225

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

GROWTH IN AIR TRAVEL AND EXPECTED CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE INTRODUCTION OF LARGER AIRCRAFT AND IMPROVED OPERATING TECHNIQUES DICTATE THE NECESSITY TO PLAN ADEQUATE GROUND TRANSPORTATION FOR NEW AND EXPANDED AIRPORTS. FIELD STUDIES AT SELECTED MAJOR AIRPORTS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ENPLANING PASSENGERS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR VEHICLES SERVING AIRPORT FUNCTIONS AND USERS. TRENDS ARE PRESENTED OF THE HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE IN PASSENGER AND GOODS MOVEMENTS BY AIR TO COMPLEMENT AND TO QUANTIFY THE MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM OF PLANNING FOR CONTINUED INCREASES IN AIR MOVEMENTS. OBVIOUS CORRELATIONS ARE SUMMARIZED BETWEEN CERTAIN PLANNING PARAMETERS. PROJECTIONS OF ENPLANING PASSENGERS FOR MAJOR AIRPORT HUBS PREPARED BY THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION HAVE BEEN USED TO PREDICT PARKING SPACE REQUIREMENTS AND TO DETERMINE MAGNITUDES OF THE GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM THAT APPEARS IMMINENT, ASSUMING THESE PROJECTIONS OF AIR PATRONAGE BECOME A REALITY. FINALLY, A SUMMARY IS PRESENTED HIGHLIGHTING EXPECTED TRAVEL CHARACTERISTIC CHANGES. ADDITIONAL BROAD CONSIDERATIONS ARE SUGGESTED FOR IMPROVING AIRPORT UTILITY AND GROUND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. /AUTHOR/
