  • Airport Capacity and TSAM
    A Modeling Framework to Estimate Airport Runway Capacity in the National Airspace System Yueh-Ting Chen Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Civil and Environmental Engineering Committee Members: Dr. Antonio Trani Dr. Hojong Baik Dr. Hesham Rakha December 12, 2006 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: airport runway capacity, Airfield Capacity Model Copyright 2006, Yueh-Ting Chen A Modeling Framework to Estimate Airport Runway Capacity in the National Airspace System Yueh-Ting Chen Abstract The objective of this study is to estimate the airport capacity in the National Airspace System (NAS). Previous studies have focused on the airport capacity of large commercial airports. This research study estimates the runway capacity for more than two thousand airports in the NAS in order to understand future tradeoffs between air transportation demand and supply. The study presented in this report includes capacity estimates for general aviation and commercial airports. To estimate airport runway capacity, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airfield Capacity Model (ACM) is used to assess the capacity at all candidate airports in a target airport set. This set includes all airports with potential Very Light Jet (VLJ) operations. The result of the study provides a broad view about the airport capacity in the future air transportation system, and could help decision makers with a modeling framework to identify congestion patterns in the system. Moreover, airport capacity is an important limiting factor in the growth of air transportation demand. The main motivation in our analyis is to include airport capacity constraints in forecasts of air transportation demand.

  • 2010-2015 Mainedot 6 Year Capital Improvement Plan (PDF)
    Multimodal Six-Year Transportation Capital Improvement Plan State Fiscal Years 2010-2015 April 29, 2009 The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) is pleased to present this Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (Six-Year Plan) for state fiscal years 2010-2015. It discusses how MaineDOT anticipates applying projected capital transportation resources to implement Connecting Maine, MaineDOT’s long-range plan, available at www.mainedot.gov. It is also a resource for the public, municipalities, MaineDOT staff, and other transportation stakeholders. The Six-Year Plan offers an opportunity for expanded public involvement both in project selection and in a project’s scope of work. By providing an indication of planned transportation improvements, it represents an opportunity for early coordination with other investments, such as utilities or municipal revitalization projects. This Six-Year Plan also presents a policy for better-incorporating congressionally designated funding, such as High Priority Projects or earmarks, into MaineDOT’s planning process. This Six-Year Plan is directly related to MaineDOT’s mission, “to responsibly provide a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system that supports economic opportunity and quality of life.” It continues MaineDOT’s commitment to developing and managing a multimodal transportation system, while addressing the growing needs of Maine’s bridges and highways. In preparation for this plan, MaineDOT contacted Maine municipalities, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Indian Nations and Tribes, and County Commissioners for Unorganized Territories, for project priorities. Maine’s Regional Planning Councils (RCs) also provided significant input for this document, including providing comments on early draft project listings. The primary difference between this Six-Year Plan and prior mid-range planning documents is that this plan includes a broader type of projects, plus Parts A and B.

Developing the Work Plan requires significant effort all across the department. We begin by estimating the federal, state, local and private funding resources we anticipate will be available, knowing that they may change over the life of the plan. Meanwhile, planners and engineers continuously monitor and measure the condition of Maine’s ever-changing transportation system. With those foundations, we use data-driven processes to select projects and activities, striving to optimize the planned work so we can make the best of every available dollar. The estimated value of work in this Work Plan totals more than $2.0 billion, with some 1,929 work items to be performed over three years. The projects and activities listed for Calendar Year (CY) 2015 are more firmly funded and with definite schedules, while listings for CYs 2016 and 2017 are more subject to changes that may be needed due to future fluctuations in funding and prices, permitting variables and seasonal weather conditions.
