Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The design of an airport runway that only aims to satisfy the most basic requirements is quite challenging, and optimizing the design is even more difficult. The conventional runway location and orientation design process relies on trial-and-error. It is laborious and usually suboptimal. Thus a mathematical model can help reduce the design time and improve the design quality. This paper proposes a model that optimizes the runway location and orientation. Various factors are considered in the model, such as obstructions clearance, winds, earthwork and the areas for facility and taxiway constructions. In addition, this model incorporates a linear programming model for calculating earthwork transportation cost in detail. A case study is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
