This book covers the analysis, modelling, planning, and design of airport landside access modes and their systems. It elaborates on the issues and related problems of the airport landside accessibility in an innovative, comprehensive and systematic way. In addition to addressing the general concept of accessibility, the book deals with analysis and modelling of the infrastructure-related, technological, operational, economic, social and environmental performance of the road- and rail-based transport systems, and the principles of their planning and design.
The author provides guidelines on the modelling, planning and design of airport landside access modes and their systems aiming at contributing to the overall sustainable development of airports. The book’s features are:
- a multidimensional examination of performances at particular airport landside access modes and their systems;
- a qualitative and quantitative approach to developing indicators of performances for estimating sustainability of airport landside access modes and their systems;
- illustrative cases of the airport landside accessibility; and
- numerical examples as exercises for assessing performance using the systems’ indicators.
Landside Accessibility of Airports is a valuable source of information for practitioners intending to analyse, plan, and design more environmentally-friendly airport access modes and their systems, and wish to understand how to overcome the issues and problems surrounding the landside accessibility. The book also reaches out to students studying the analysis and modelling of transportation systems, and researchers wanting to contribute to the sustainability development of airports.
