Title: AIRPORT MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSES: TRB 80TH ANNUAL MEETING WORKSHOP, JANUARY 7, 2001, WASHINGTON, D.C.
Accession Number: 00924045
Record Type: Component
Availability: N/AFind a library where document is available Abstract: The primary objective of the workshop was to provide a forum to demonstrate and discuss state-of-the-practice airport and airspace environmental evaluations using modeling and simulation tools. Major state-of-the-art environmental simulation models--mainly for assessing the impacts of aircraft noise and emissions--and the recent applications of environmental impact studies were presented. The workshop provided a hands-on environment to better understand how simulation techniques could be used to improve the quality of environmental assessments for airport and airspace. Presentations and ensuing discussions facilitated the coverage of benefits, intricacies, and advantages to analysts for adopting the simulation approach to conduct environmental assessment. Technical details, data requirements, and analysis methods and results from case studies were elaborated on and demonstrated. The workshop was conducted in an interactive and one-on-one format, with panels of experts comprised of software developers, simulation users, airport managers, environmental planners and analysts, airport consultants, and environmental models' sponsoring agencies, namely, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Discussions covered assumptions, simulation models' types and logic, data requirements, management of relevant databases, modeling approaches and analytical techniques, study results, and conclusions vis-a-vis the utilization and implementation of models. The attendees of this workshop included airport managers and environmental planners, airport engineers and planners, aviation-airport and environmental consulting firms, university and aviation center researchers, state aviation and airport authorities, and FAA staff in aviation-airport and environmental planning. They came from the United States, North and South America, Europe, and the Middle East. The Workshop was presided over by the Chair of the Transportation Research Board Committee on Airspace and Airfield Capacity and Delay, Saleh Mumayiz.
