In response to a request by Congress, the FAA and TSC have undertaken a study to determine the extent to which inadequate (off-airport) ground access to airports constrains airport capacity and air travel. Presently, TSC is preparing case studies of 17 commercial airports os various sizes and locales. This report describes the initial phases of a study on airport access which includes: (1) A methodology for evaluating airport ground access capacity. Data availability and requirements for the application of capacity analysis to any airport access system have been established; (2) A look at the airport access problem as perceived by the operators of large, medium, and small hub airports, as well as a non-hub airport. Information on access conditions was collected and categorized; (3) A review and summarization of a number of previous access studies; and (4) A review and description of the planning, funding, and implementation process for airport access.

This technical report is an outgrowth of a study requested by Congress to determine the extent to which inadequate (off-airport) ground access to airports constrains airport capacity and air travel. Case studies of sixteen commercial airports of various sizes and locales were prepared. The report describes these case studies and includes the following: (1) An identification and projection of the access capacity of representative airports; (2) An determination as to whether access needs at these airports are adequately considered in the planning process; (3) An identification of potential solutions to noted access problems; and (4) An identification of projects for consideration by local public bodies and planning authorities which may improve airport access in selected cases. Also included is a 1978 update of the ground access to airports study prepared by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). (Author).

At the request of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Transportation Research Board of the National Research Council assembled an expert committee to provide advice on alternative strategies that might be adopted to meet long-term airport capacity needs. The committee was charged with four tasks: (1) to examine long-term airport capacity needs and measures to meet these needs; (2) to formulate alternative strategies reflecting varying assumptions about the growth of air traffic and intercity travel demand, technological development, government roles, and institutional arrangements; (3) to identify the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies; and (4) to recommend strategies for further analysis and evaluation by FAA. This report presents the committee's findings.

"TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 104: Defining and Measuring Aircraft Delay and Airport Capacity Thresholds offers guidance to help airports understand, select, calculate, and report measures of delay and capacity. The report describes common metrics, identifies data sources, recommends metrics based on an airport's needs, and suggests ways to potentially improve metrics."--Publisher's description.

The problems of airport landside capacity are of industry-wide interest. Evaluation of landside capacity enables airport operators and designers to identify passenger and baggage flows bottlenecks, find the primary cause of the bottlenecks formation and take measures mitigating the impact of bottlenecks on the airport operations. Many studies dealing with these problems are focused on the processing part of the airport terminal and consider the airport terminal to be an isolated system. Although this approach provides valuable data concerning capacity, delays or processing bottlenecks, in some cases, identified capacity constraints are only the symptoms of the actual problem. In order to identify the cause of the problem, it is necessary to consider the airport terminal as an integral part of much more complex regional or national transportation system. This book investigates the interrelationship between traffic flows within airport s catchment area and passenger and baggage flows within the airport terminal with a view to improve the airport landside infrastructure utilisation and reduce the air pollution resulting from the high share of individual airport ground access trips.
