How Will TNCs and Autonomous Vehicles Impact the Airport Landside?
Laurence Bauman

This presentation addresses the timing of, and potential impacts from, two top trending landside topics - Transportation Network Companies (TNCs such as Uber and Lyft) and autonomous (driverless) vehicles (AVs). There will be a time within the next 7-10 years where some airport will be the last one to build a new parking structure because TNCs and AVs will render them obsolete. Ongoing research and the latest activity by the companies involved in these technologies dictate the probable timing for this which includes the likelihood of TNCs rolling out driverless ride-hailing vehicles. There is an equal likelihood that within the next 10-12 years airport patrons will be operating their own private driverless vehicles. Both of these actions will dictate a major rethinking of all airport landside infrastructure including dealing with increased curbside congestion and the loss of parking and rental car revenues.

EMAS Bed and Undershoot of Aircraft
Trip Thomas

Discussion on what has happened when an aircraft undershoots into an EMASMAX bed. Over the past 20 years, Zodiac has had a total of six undershoots into Gur systems. The size of the aircraft has ranged from c-130, a business jet, down to various GA aircrafts. As EMAS installations move forwards replacement at existing airports and to small GA airports the question of what happens when an aircraft has an undershoot continuous for come up. Zodiac will take a couple of the more recent examples to review what happened to the system, the aircraft and how the airport handled the event. The point of the presentation is to answer questions around what to expect if an undershoot was to take place, how to handle an event, and what the process is to recover from the undershoot.

Using AEDT in Determining Departure Runway Length Requirements
Matt Lee & Nick Keller

FAA Advisory Circular 150/5325-4B -- Runway Length Requirements for Airport Design specifies that aircraft manufacturer's runway length charts are the preferred method for determining runway length for the critical air carrier aircraft serving the critical destination. However, some manufacturer's airport planning charts only provide sufficient information for the aircraft traveling the maximum range for a given payload. The FAA Airports Division approved the use of the FAA's AEDT Environmental Analysis model to determine fuel burn for a given flight distance. This presentation describes how the AEDT modeling was combined with standard factors for determining fuel reserves and payloads to determine the appropriate weights for departing aircraft. These weights were then used to determine the departure runway lengths required for the CRW Airport Master Plan. Nick Keller will describe the importance of obtaining airline concurrence on both the choice of aircraft and the feasibility of proposed destinations in supporting Master Plan forecasts. Airline support of the development program confirms realism of master plan forecasts and the ensuing runway development program.

Trench Drainage and Glycol Collection Solutions
Lee Veldboom

This presentation shows various trench drainage and glycol collections approaches. It is primarily picture based with installation pictures from a 2716 foot installation done at Milwaukee Intl. Also a new system is going in at Newark Intl. in March 2018. This presentation has elements that consulting engineers and airport owners should have interest in. We also have new glycol collection pans that can be put into storm drainage inlets to prevent glycol from entering the storm water systems.

PHL Runway 9R Pier Improvements - ALSF Design and Construction - Lessons Learned
Sanjay Chaudhury

The scope of this $8M project included the construction of a “New Steel Truss Walkway” attached to existing concrete dolphins starting from a newly installed landside abutment up to Approach Light Station 24+00 and demolition of the existing dilapidated wooden walkway structure. Specific improvements and repairs to the Pier of Runway 9R include the installation and replacement of existing conduits, cabling, and the Low‐Impact Resistant (LIR) Tower Systems at each ALSF light station as per current FAA standards. Project was conceptualized on July, 2015 and major construction will be completed in July 2017. Within a two year period, this major achievement was made possible by the whole hearted cooperation and support of all the parties involved. I would like to thank each and every one of you who have made this project a success, as well as 3 months ahead of schedule!

Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) New Multimodal Ground Transportation Hub
Ryan Meyer, Cedrick Johnson, Tom Cook

This past August, the Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) recently opened its new Multimodal Ground Transportation Hub. Funding for this project included a $1.75 million dollar grant from the Multi-modal Transportation Fund through the PennDOT Bureau of Aviation. The new facility provides a modern and convenient location for regional bus transportation companies (Lanta and Transbridge) and improves on previous operational deficiencies for the existing rental car operations. The completed facility improves the walking distances to the rental cars from the terminal by 700 feet, provides adequate weather protection to the traveling customer, eliminates vehicle conflict points, improved area lighting, signage and wayfinding, and nearly doubles the amount of taxi stands and designated areas for bus service. This paper/presentation will provide an overview of the program, highlight the successes, key challenges, and lessons learned for this important regional transportation hub.
