Passengers would then proceed to an elevated walkway crossing to the terminal building and then down an escalator to the departures hall. For arriving passengers, the POV supplemental curbside would be located at grade level in the adjacent parking structure.

POV passengers would take an elevated walkway crossing into the departures hall while CV passengers would take an escalator located in the parking structure up one level to the elevated walkway crossing into the departures hall. Arriving POV passengers would be accommodated at grade level adjacent to the terminal.

As shown in Figure 5-5, departing passengers using POVs and CVs would be accommodated on a supplemental curbside on an elevated level of the parking structure. Passengers would 44 Figure 5-3.

Common Advantages A common advantage among all of the APPF alternatives is the ability for departing passengers to check baggage prior to parking or being dropped off, which relieves passengers of handling their baggage and reduces congestion on the curbside and in the departures hall. Another common advantage is the ability to drop passengers off at the supplemental curbside located in the garage, which relieves congestion on the terminal roadway system and allows park-and-fly passengers to drop their companions prior to parking.

APPF Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 could require renovation of existing facilities while they remain in operation, which would be challenging. The construction of a supplemental curbside would disrupt the existing parking operation and could impact existing roadway operations.

POVs would then proceed to the supplemental curbside located in the parking structure for passenger drop-off. In this example, a passenger assistance parking area accessed directly from the POV passenger drop-off curbside is provided to accommodate passengers desiring assistance in unloading (limited to 10- to 15-min dwell times)

Alternative 2 OPPF Alternative 2 (see Figure 5-10) would provide the same functions as OPPF Alternative 1 for POV passengers, as 48 Figure 5-8.

Departing passengers would then proceed to the SSCP and the integrated APM station to the terminal. Arriving passengers would take the secure APM connection from the secure portion of the terminal to the OPPF and then proceed into the baggage-claim hall and to the POV and CV passenger pick-up area and parking.

The OPPF alternatives would avoid the operational and cost impacts of building in a congested central terminal area, which could offset some of the costs for a required transit connection. Functions provided as part of OPPF Alternative 3 would greatly reduce the departures hall requirements and eliminate the need for a baggage-claim hall in the terminal building.

This example includes a two-level facility with POV passenger pickup and drop-off occurring on the upper level of a parking structure and CV passenger pickup and drop-off occurring on the lower level. The upper level OPPF configuration is depicted in Figure 5-12.

Airport attributes that should be considered when developing a landside concept are summarized in two categories -- physical attributes and nonphysical attributes. 53 Figure 5-15.

In addition, regulations and policies in effect at certain airports may limit how the airport can be modified. For example, historical zoning restrictions at Washington Dulles International Airport limit how the original airport facilities can be modified and restrict the development of facilities that would obstruct the view of the airport terminal building.
