CEE 4674 - Course Information

• CEE This course is oriented to those engineering students who would like to understand how airports are designed, planned and operated

• The information provided in this course falls into three categories:

• Aircraft vehicle performance and airport interaction

• Planning aspects of the airport system,

• Analysis methods in airport engineering

CEE 4674: Course Objectives• Analyze the effect of atmospheric variables on aircraft airport operations

(runway length analysis)

• Estimate the capacity of any airport configuration and understand the influence of weather, aircraft mix, and other operational parameters in capacity

• Estimate the airport capacity

• Analyze the noise impacts of aircraft in the vicinity of airports using computer models (INM 7.0)

• Estimate the geometric design characteristics of an airport including taxiways, aprons and runways

• Estimate siting criteria for new airports including airport terminals

• Be able to construct a master plan for an airport facility

• Use computer simulation software packages used in industry in the planning and design of airports (i.e., INM 7.0, AD42, ACM, etc.).

Software Needs for the Class

• Several of the assignments in this class will require the following software:

• Autocad (for geometric design and visualization)

• Matlab (for airport level of service calculations)

• Excel Solver (for demand estimation)

• JMP - statistical software

• If you do not have the software in your computer please make sure you install it before you leave

Good feedbackloop to learn


Project Oriented Learning

• We will work hard to deliver information to the Punta Cana airport on the following subjects:

• Preliminary analysis of contours using INM/AEDT models

• Geometric design compliance and runway-taxiway improvements

• Airport terminal improvements and quality of services
