Guidebook for Quantifying Airport Ground Access Vehicle Activity for Emissions Modeling (2017)

Below is the uncorrected machine-read text of this chapter, intended to provide our own search engines and external engines with highly rich, chapter-representative searchable text of each book. Because it is UNCORRECTED material, please consider the following text as a useful but insufficient proxy for the authoritative book pages.

11 Airport GAV Infrastructure The airside areas of an airport are restricted; they are accessible only to aircraft and airport/ airline employees and to already-screened and ticketed passengers (who follow controlled path- ways to board their designated aircraft). The landside areas of an airport are fully accessible to the public. On an airport’s landside, GAV operate in the following general areas: • Roadways, • Parking facilities, and • Hold areas (i.e., vehicle staging/queuing areas). If an airport has service areas such as transit bus stops and “kiss-n-fly” passenger drop off locations, GAV may also operate in these additional areas. Table 4-1 lists the general and specific airport GAV infrastructure for which data collection methods are presented in this guidebook, as well as the types of GAV expected to operate in each of these areas. In practice, the existence of these areas (and the types of vehicles operating in an area) will be airport-specific. C H A P T E R 4
