The research described herein is composed of four major areas of practice. It examines the overall performance of runways and provides tools designed to improve current runway operations and management with particular emphasis on contaminated surfaces. Presented in this thesis is an overview of how to design airport pavements in order to achieve optimal friction by specifically focusing on material selection and construction techniques for rigid and flexible pavements. Rubber buildup and the impact rubber accumulation has on decreasing runway friction, particularly in a range of climatic conditions, is discussed. Four commonly used rubber removal techniques are presented and evaluated. Through this research, an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) decision making protocol was developed for incorporation into airport pavement management systems (APMS). Runway surface condition reporting practices used at the Region of Waterloo International Airport are evaluated and recommendations for improving current practices are identified. Runway surface condition reporting can be improved by removing subjectivity, reporting conditions to pilots in real time, standardizing terminology and measurement techniques, and including runway pictures or sketches to identify contaminant locations where possible. Reports should be incorporated and stored in the APMS. Aircraft braking systems and their effects on landing distances under contaminated conditions are discussed. This thesis presents a proposed solution for monitoring and measuring contaminated runway surfaces and identifying the risks associated with aircraft landing through using the Braking Availability Tester (BAT). Also proposed in this thesis is a testing framework for validating the Braking Availability Tester. The proposed BAT measures interaction between aircraft antiskid braking systems and runway contaminants to determine landing distances more accurately. Finally, this thesis includes a discussion explaining how pavement design, contaminant removal, results from friction tests, and results from the BAT can be incorporated into airport pavement management systems. APMS data can be analyzed to economically optimize and prioritize scheduling of pavement maintenance, preservation and rehabilitation treatments to maintain a high level of service, thereby contributing to runway safety and optimization.

Pavement and Asset Management contains contributions from the World Conference on Pavement and Asset Management (WCPAM 2017, Baveno, Italy, 12-16 June 2017). For the first time, the European Pavement and Asset Management Conference (EPAM) and the International Conference on Managing Pavement Assets (ICMPA) were joining forces for a global event that aimed not only at academics and researchers, but also at practitioners, engineers and technicians dealing with everyday tasks and responsibilities related to transport infrastructures pavement and asset management. Pavement and Asset Management covers a wide range of topics, from emerging research to engineering practice, and is grouped under the following themes: - Data quality and monitoring - Economics, political and environmental management, strategies - Deterioration models - Key performance indicators - PMS-case studies - Design and materials - M&R treatments - LCA & LCCA - Risk and safety - Bridge and tunnel management - Smart infrastructure and IT Pavement and Asset Management will be valuable to academics and professionals interested and/or involved in issues related to transport infrastructures pavement and asset management.

This guidebook addresses asset and infrastructure management applicable to all areas of the operation of an airport. The primer portion of the report includes an overview of an asset and infrastructure management program and explores the benefits and costs of implementation. The guidebook portion of the report provides examples from various airports and is designed to be a reference for integrating proven asset and infrastructure management practices and techniques at airports of all sizes. The report defines an asset and infrastructure management program and its components and how a program relates to daily operations and longer-term planning. In addition, the project that developed ACRP Report 69 also produced a PowerPoint presentation, which can be used to present the benefits of a program to stakeholders--

Runway Operations Management written by Farbod Farhadi and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2014 with Air traffic control categories.
Air traffic loads have been on the rise over the last several decades and are expected to double, and possibly triple in some regions, over the coming decade. With the advent of larger aircraft and ever-increasing air traffic loads, aviation authorities are continually pressured to examine capacity expansions and to adopt better strategies for capacity utilization. However, this growth in air traffic volumes has not been accompanied by adequate capacity expansions in the air transport infrastructure. It is, therefore, predicted that flight delays costing multi-billion dollars will continue to negatively impact airline companies and consumers. In airport operations management, runways constitute a scarce resource and a key bottleneck that impacts system-wide capacity (Idris et al. 1999). Throughout the three essays that form this dissertation, enhanced optimization models and effective decomposition techniques are proposed for runway operations management, while taking into consideration safety and practical constraints that govern access to runways. Essay One proposes a three-faceted approach for runway capacity management, based on the runway configuration, a chosen aircraft assignment/sequencing policy, and an aircraft separation standard as typically enforced by aviation authorities. With the objective of minimizing a fuel burn cost function, we propose optimization-based heuristics that are grounded in a classical mixed-integer programming formulation. By slightly altering the FCFS sequence, the proposed optimization-based heuristics not only preserve fairness among aircraft, but also consistently produce excellent (optimal or near optimal) solutions. Using real data and alternative runway settings, our computational study examines the transition from the (Old) Doha International Airport to the New Doha International Airport in light of our proposed optimization methodology. Essay Two examines aircraft sequencing problems over multiple runways under mixed mode operations. To curtail the computational effort associated with classical mixed-integer formulations for aircraft sequencing problems, valid inequalities, pre-processing routines and symmetry-defeating hierarchical constraints are proposed. These enhancements yield computational savings over a base mixed-integer formulation when solved via branch-and-bound/cut techniques that are embedded in commercial optimization solvers such as CPLEX. To further enhance its computational tractability, the problem is alternatively reformulated as a set partitioning model (with a convexity constraint) that prompts the development of a specialized column generation approach. The latter is accelerated by incorporating several algorithmic features, including an interior point dual stabilization scheme (Rousseau et al. 2007), a complementary column generation routine (Ghoniem and Sherali, 2009), and a dynamic lower bounding feature. Empirical results using a set of computationally challenging simulated instances demonstrate the effectiveness and the relative merits of the strengthened mixed-integer formulation and the accelerated column generation approach. Essay Three presents an effective dynamic programming algorithm for solving Elementary Shortest Path Problems with Resource Constraints (ESPPRC). This is particularly beneficial, because the ESPPRC structure arises in the column generation pricing sub-problem which, in turn, causes computational challenges as noted in Essay Two. Extending the work by Feillet et al. (2004), the proposed algorithm dynamically constructs optimal aircraft schedules based on the shortest path between operations while enforcing time-window restrictions and consecutive as well as nonconsecutive minimum separation times between aircraft. Using the aircraft separation standard by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), our computational study reports very promising results, whereby the proposed dynamic programming approach greatly outperforms the solution of the sub-problem as a mixed-integer programming formulation using commercial solvers such as CPLEX and paves the way for developing effective branch-and-price algorithms for multiple-runway aircraft sequencing problems.
