Airport Microgrid Implementation Tools
10/25/2024 8:00:14 PM
Awareness of the vulnerability of the country’s existing electrical system has increased with the frequency of short-term blackouts and long-term utility outages. Power outages impact airport operations by causing flight delays, extended layovers, disruptions in cargo operations, loss of revenue, and limitations in airports’ ability to provide emergency support. ACRP WebResource 19: Airport Microgrid Implementation Tools , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides tools that can be used b...
Airports and Communicable Diseases: Preparedness and Response
10/16/2024 8:00:14 PM
In recent years, as air travel has increased worldwide, attention to the global spread of communicable diseases via air travel has also grown. While considerable research has been undertaken on the topic, the information is disparate and not often presented in a manner that allows airports to easily develop a comprehensive response. ACRP WebResource 22: Airports and Communicable Diseases: Preparedness and Response , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, synthesizes existing materials across th...
Safe Maintenance of Airfield Electrical Systems for Small Airports
9/30/2024 1:00:14 PM
Many of the country’s smallest airports may not have qualified onsite management or staff familiar with operational needs and risks to safely manage an airfield electrical system, and there is a lack of cost-effective training on basic airfield electrical system maintenance available for small airports. ACRP WebResource 20: Safe Maintenance of Airfield Electrical Systems for Small Airports , from TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides guidelines and tools to help small airports recognize ha...
Playbook for Developing a Culture of Innovation at Airports
3/19/2024 6:00:20 PM
When airports create an environment where their people can improve current processes and adapt to rapid changes in the industry—particularly when they focus on solving problems for customers—great advances can be made. Organizations that support a culture of innovation also reap the benefits of improved morale and increased motivation among their staff. ACRP WebResource 16: Playbook for Developing a Culture of Innovation at Airports , from TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides best practic...
Developing a Holistic Airport Common Use Program
2/1/2024 1:00:20 PM
Common use programs at many airports have been limited to a few core information technology systems and may have struggled to provide the needed level of customer service to passengers, airlines, and other stakeholders. ACRP WebResource 17: Developing a Holistic Airport Common Use Program , from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, provides guidance on how airport operators can expand the scope of common use beyond the traditional IT systems and incorporate new systems and processes to gain more o...

Airside Planning, Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance
3/29/2023 2:00:05 PM
The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP WebResource 13: Airside Planning, Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance is designed to provide aviation professionals with a convenient location to find airside-related resources. ACRP WebResource 13 is an electronic library, which contains more than 600 resources cataloged and tagged, all of which can be searched and filtered. The resources are mostly reports in PDF format, but there are additional resources in other formats such as webpage...
Air Service Development and Regional Economic Activity
8/12/2022 2:00:16 PM
The relationship between a region’s economy and its air service is not well understood. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP WebResource 12: Air Service Development and Regional Economic Activity provides resources to help airports and their communities estimate how changes in air service could positively or negatively impact their economy. Methods for communicating the contribution of air service to local employment and economic activity are also provided. The WebResource is accompanied b...
