Airport Access Road Traffic Demand Estimation

Article Preview

Abstract:

For most traffic engineering studies, traffic flows are usually analyzed and evaluated on hourly basis. However few studies have been performed that estimate the number of traffic volumes made to an airport as a function of air passengers by time of day. The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical model which forecasts hourly traffic volume by using hourly airport operation data along with airport user characteristics data. An analytical model was developed. This model can be used to (1) predict the number of vehicles queued at airport entrances intersection or toll plaza, (2) predict optimum toll lane staffing, and (3) analyze the level of congestion on the roadway for different levels of air passenger demand in future.
