- Description
- AIRPORT SYSTEMS: PLANNING, DESIGN AND MANAGEMENT Performance Period: The course is required September 29, 2003 through October 3, 2003. Course Content: The course must provide a comprehensive survey of state-of-the-art airport planning and design. It must address the strategic issues that airports face in the rapidly changing environment of international air transport. It must provide detailed discussions of the following: 1. Standard and emerging methods for evaluating airport needs, including latest computer models; 2. Strategies for dealing with the variability of traffic and the problems of congestion and delays; 3. Impacts of tightening security measures on airport operations and facilities; 4. Design methodologies for airside facilities and modeling; 5. Development of major new airports; 6. The design of airport passenger buildings, automated baggage and people mover systems; 7. Airport access and environment; 8. Financing of airports by public and private agencies and by airport user charges; 9. Competition between airports and multiple airport systems. A major theme for the course must be that airport planning takes place in a highly unpredictable environment. It is therefore necessary to adopt flexible approaches to calls for new or expanded facilities. Strategies toward capital investments should be multi-dimensional, not just technical or capital-intensive. In addressing problems of congestion and delays, the course must explore the advantages of solutions involving the reallocation of resources, economic incentives, demand management, and the reconfiguration of services and facilities in combination with new construction. The course must also cover airport financing and security procedures.
