Design Considerations For Airport Eocs

"This guidebook will help airports with Emergency Operations Center (EOC) planning and design considerations, such as (1) establishing an EOC in an existing facility; (2) upgrading a current EOC facility; (3) designing and building a new facility within the terminal (or other existing campus building); and (4) designing and building a greenfield project, which means the airport is not bound by any constraints with existing buildings or infrastructure such as the terminal or toher existing campus structures." -- Page 1.

This edition of this work is updated & expanded to reflect the latest developments in the planning & design of airports. It now features coverage of the geometric design of landing areas, air traffic control systems, airport security, demand forecasting, airport financing, environmental assessment, terminal & ground access system planning, & heliport & vertiport design. It also provides modern approaches to lighting, signing, & marking of airfields... paving runways... & much more. Planning & Design of Airports is an indispensable reference for civil engineers, transportation engineers, government planners, architects, & all others involved in any aspect of airport planning & design.

Useful for all transportation engineers, airport consultants, air transportation experts, and community planners.

In this third edition the chapters have been enhanced to reflect changes in technology and the way the air transport industry runs. Key topics that are newly addressed include low cost airline operations, security issues and EASA regulations on airports. A new chapter covering extended details about wildlife control has been added to the volume.

Authoritative, Up-to-Date Coverage of Airport Planning and Design Fully updated to reflect the significant changes that have occurred in the aviation industry, the new edition of this classic text offers definitive guidance on every aspect of planning, design, engineering, and renovating airports and terminals. Planning and Design of Airports, Fifth Edition, includes complete coverage of the latest aircraft and air traffic management technologies, passenger processing technologies, computer-based analytical and design models, new guidelines for estimating required runway lengths and pavement thicknesses, current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, and more.
