Modelling and Managing Airport Performance

Modelling and Managing Airport Performance provides anintegrated view of state-of-the-art research on measuring andimproving the performance of airport systems with consideration ofboth airside and landside operations. The considered facets ofperformance include capacity, delays, economic costs, noise,emissions and safety. Several of the contributions also examinepolicies for managing congestion and allocating sparse capacity, aswell as for mitigating the externalities of noise, emissions, andsafety/risk. Key features: Provides a global perspective with contributing authors fromEurope, North and South America with backgrounds in academia,research institutions, government, and industry Contributes to the definition, interpretation, and sharedunderstanding of airport performance measures and relatedconcepts Considers a broad range of measures that quantify operationaland environmental performance, as well as safety and risk Discusses concepts and strategies for dealing with themanagement of airport performance Presents state-of-the-art modelling capabilities and identifiesfuture modelling needs Themed around 3 sections – Modelling Airport Performance,Assessing Airport Impacts, and Managing Airport Performance andCongestion Modelling and Managing Airport Performance is avaluable reference for researchers and practitioners in the globalair transportation community.
