TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released its annual report that reflects on its 2017 achievements and includes initiating 44 new research and special projects and publishing 19 research reports. New approaches to sharing research ideas, convening experts on emerging and rapidly evolving issues, and implementing research are highlighted in the 2017 report.

TRB has made enhancements to its Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) CRP-CD-137: The Vector-Borne Disease Airport Importation Risk Tool. The tool is a CD-ROM-based interactive tool designed to help define the roles of airports and airlines in the transmission and spread of insect-borne human diseases. The tool relies on the assumptions that the levels of imported vector and vector-borne disease risk via air travel are related to the presence of flight routes connected to endemic regions, the leve...

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released its annual report that reflects on the achievements of the past 11 years, as well as ACRP’s strategic outlook of providing responsive, relevant, and innovative solutions to the challenges and opportunities within the airport industry.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released its annual report that reflects on the achievements of the past 10 years, as well as ACRP’s strategic outlook on the next 10 years of providing responsive, relevant, and innovative solutions to the challenges and opportunities within the airport industry.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) CD-ROM 178: Airport Terminal Building Energy Use Intensity (ATB-EUI) Benchmarking Tool provides assistance to airports to help benchmark and profile airport terminal energy end uses. The CD includes the raw data that was used to develop the tool. The tool helps users complete a form on their energy uses to develop an energy use intensity profile to benchmark against other terminals. ACRP Web-Only Document 27 : Methodology to Develop the Airport Terminal B...

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has produced an updated brochure that explores various aspects of the program and provides information on the different ways individuals can become involved in ACRP.  ACRP is an industry-driven, applied research program that develops near-term, practical solutions to problems faced by airport operators.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released ACRP CD-161: Estimating Takeoff Thrust Settings for Airport Emissions Inventories that offers guidance designed to help airport practitioners include the effects of reduced takeoff thrust in their emissions inventory calculations. When calculating air quality emissions inventories for airports, modelers frequently assume that aircraft takeoff uses maximum engine thrust. However, many airlines routinely use lower takeoff thrust levels to prolo...

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2400 consists of 10 papers selected for awards in a nationwide competition under the 2012 to 2013 Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues. Topics explored by the papers include screening times at airport security checkpoints; runway incursion risks; the role of competitor pricing in multiairport choice; congestion mitigation at John F. Kennedy International Airport; and ground delay programs. ...

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) has released its annual report that provides background on the program, a listing of products developed under the program over the last 8 years, a summary of the status of projects in progress or completed, and more.

TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Progress Report highlights the value of near-term practical solutions developed by ACRP since it was established in 2005. Through its unique engagement with stakeholders and well-established research process, ACRP provides the airport community with relevant, valuable guidance and tools that have proven to help practitioners successfully manage their day-to-day operations, avoid common problems, and take advantage of new opportunities for growth and ...
