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.

27 Appendix C Research Idea Database The Research Idea Database is a searchable Excel file (provided as a separate file) containing all forty-two ideas generated during the project. The database can be filtered by a number of categories, including high-level theme, sub-topic, keyword, related research (existing or ongoing research), idea rank (based on overall prioritization score) and by related ACRP Idea Hub tag. Below is the list of columns and content contained in the database. ⢠Column A contains the idea identification number for tracking purposes. This number does not reflect the rank or prioritization score of the idea. ⢠Column B contains the prioritization score for each idea, based on rankings from the Project Panel and the research team across the set of prioritization criteria. The idea with the highest prioritization score is assigned a rank of 1. The idea with the lowest prioritization score is assigned a rank of 42. Several ideas received the same score, and were accordingly assigned the same priority rank. The ranking scheme therefore skips numbers to reflect this. For example, if two ideas both achieve the highest possible prioritization score, they would both be assigned a rank of 1. The idea with the next highest score would be assigned a rank of 3 (2 is skipped). ⢠Column C includes information on which overarching, general industry and FAA goals (Safe and Secure Air Transportation System; Capacity, Growth and Efficiency; and Customer Service and Travel Experience) each idea addresses. ⢠Column D contains the high-level theme of each individual idea, while Column E contains the sub-topic. ⢠Column F contains the working title of the research idea. ⢠Column G contains the background information for each idea, and provides context and justification for the research. ⢠Column H contains the research objective for each idea. ⢠Column I lists related research projects, both completed and ongoing, for additional background information. ⢠Column J lists all related ACRP IdeaHub tags.
