  • Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons
    REPORT TO CONGRESS Injuries and Fatalities of Workers Struck by Vehicles on Airport Aprons Prepared by U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Office of the Associate Administrator for Airports July 2002 I. Executive Summary Section 520 of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21) required the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct the study described below and report the results to Congress by April 5, 2001: The Administrator shall conduct a study to determine the number of persons working at airports who are injured or killed as a result of being struck by a moving vehicle while on an airport tarmac, the seriousness of the injuries to such persons, and whether or not reflective safety vests or other actions should be required to enhance the safety of such workers. A review of the FAA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) databases found that between 1985 and August 2000, 11 workers were fatally injured when struck by vehicles on airport aprons. Of the 11 fatalities, only two occurred between 1995 and 2000. Increased emphasis on ramp safety by the airline industry and airports could be a contributing factor to the decline in “struck by” injuries. The lack of comprehensive nonfatal injury data makes it impossible to determine accurately the number and severity of nonfatal struck by injuries. The data suggest that airline industry workers actually sustain significantly fewer struck by injuries than workers in most other industries.

  • Aircraft Push-Back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-Based Object Detection and Activity Identification
    Aircraft Push-back Prediction and Turnaround Monitoring by Vision-based Object Detection and Activity Identification Thai Van Phat∗, Sameer Alam∗, Nimrod Lilith∗, Phu N. Tran† and Binh T. Nguyen‡ ∗Saab-NTU Joint Lab, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore †Air Traffic Management Research Institute, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore ‡AISIA Research Lab, University of Science, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Abstract—An accurate prediction of aircraft readiness for departure can help Air Traffic Control (ATC) plan an optimal pre-departure sequence at which aircraft are dispatched from the parking stands. This dynamic mechanism between predicting when all ground handling activities end (Target Off Block Time) and the pre-departure sequencing (Target Start-up Approval time) is the core of Airport Collaborative Decision Making. This turnaround process consists of several activities (fueling, board- ing/deboarding, loading/unloading, etc.) and involves several ground support types of equipment and vehicles. In this research, we propose a visual-analytic approach for detection, tracking such activities to predict the Target Off Block Time (push-back time). This research introduces a Convolutional Neural Networks based video-analytic framework that can monitor the aircraft turnaround processes, including object detection, object tracking, activity detection, and push-back prediction. It recognizes an aircraft type and retrieves turnaround process/activities from its Aircraft Performance Manual and then detects and tracks various activities to estimate their completion time with high accuracy. Live Gate Cam video data was collected from the Gate 3 at Tokachi-Obihiro airport, in Hokkaido, Japan. We used 16 videos with the corresponding lengths varying from 40 to 60 minutes for training and five videos for testing.

  • Apron Layout Design and Flight-To-Gate Assignment at Lanseria International Airport
    APRON LAYOUT DESIGN AND FLIGHT-TO-GATE ASSIGNMENT AT LANSERIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT T. Leonard1 & J. Bekker2* Department of Industrial Engineering Stellenbosch University, South Africa 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Air traffic is continuously increasing and more efficient air transport systems are required to handle the air travel demand. The study investigates the expansion of Lanseria International Airport in Gauteng, South Africa. Expansion of Lanseria requires a study of the airport apron layout to ensure efficient passenger-aircraft flow as well as the efficient flow of aircraft to and from the airport. The candidate layout designs are based on the layout concept of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, USA. In the study, different airport apron layouts were compared, including the existing layout of Atlanta Airport, via a simulation model of each. Designs based mainly on passenger transfer distance between the terminal building and aircraft were evaluated. The cross-entropy method was used to develop a generic flight-to-gate assignment program that minimises passenger transfer distances. OPSOMMING Lugverkeer groei toenemend en meer doeltreffende lugvervoerstelsels word benodig om in die lugvervoerbehoefte te voorsien. In hierdie studie word die uitbreiding van die Lanseria Internasionale Lughawe in Gauteng, Suid-Afrika ondersoek. Die uitbreiding van Lanseria vereis ’n studie van die lughawe se laaibladuitleg om doeltreffende vloei van passassiers na en van vliegtuie te verseker, asook die vloei van vliegtuie na en van die lughawe. Die moontlike uitleg-ontwerpe is gebaseer op die uitlegkonsep van die Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Internasionale Lughawe in Atlanta, VSA. Verskillende uitleg-ontwerpe, insluitend die bestaande uitleg van Atlanta, is in die studie met simulasie vergelyk.

Material design deals with the selection of suitable materials for various pavement layers and mix design of bituminous materials Pavements are designed and constructed to provide durable all-weather travelling surfaces for safe and speedy movement of people and goods with an acceptable level of comfort to users. These functional requirements of pavements are achieved through careful considerations in the following aspects during the design and construction phases: (a) types of pavement (b) grading of material (c) design of pavement thickness. Airport facility requirements include runways, taxiways, pavement condition, navigational aids, lighting systems, and aircraft parking apron, hangars, fixed base operator (FBO) facilities, aircraft fuelling, automobile parking, utilities and surface access. Keys: flexible pavement, rigid pavement, run way, pavement surface, parking, apron area INTRODUCTION An airport runway is defined as a rectangular area on a land prepared for the landing and takeoff of aircraft. Runways may be a man-made surface (often asphalt, concrete, or a mixture of both) or a natural surface (grass, dirt, gravel, ice, or salt).Runways are named by a number between 01 and 36, which is generally the magnetic azimuth of the °), runway 18 is south (180°), runway 27 runway's heading in deca degrees : a runway numbered 09 points east (90 °) and runway 36 points to the north (360° rather than 0°).
