Abstract:
This study develops a lateral deviation based
framework for identifying potential veer off risks at different
turn off speeds, locations and turn off configurations of high
speed exits. With introduction of newer air navigation
technologies and reductions in in-trail separation standards,
Runway Occupancy Times (ROT) of landing airplanes will
become a critical capacity determinant in the future. Hence,
High speed exits can be located instead of conventional 90
degree exits in view of reducing the ROT. Most critical
operational factors friction coefficient and turn off speed are
identified and ranked based on veer off probabilities and
elasticity findings of operational factors. The developed
framework including elasticity findings is beneficial at decision
making on high speed exit locations, exit configurations in
addition to extreme operational conditions. In response to the
emerging demand on air transport industry, existing airport
facilities must be expanded. Yet, limitations in land
acquisitions result exploration of capacity improvement
options using existing resources.
