ACRP Web-Only Document 40: Airport Design and Construction Narrative Research Roadmap

Publication Date

Abstract

ACRP Web-Only Document 40: Airport Design and Construction Narrative Research Roadmap outlines the key research gaps and areas of interest for airports in the design and construction field over the next 5 years. The research ideas generated as part of this project are organized into seven high‐level themes that represent the main areas and challenges of interest to airports in design and construction. While design and construction are designated as their own research areas within the ACRP, the roadmap takes a consolidated approach and combines the two in both the report and the visual representation. The roadmap includes 40 research ideas that are categorized into seven high‐level themes: Customer Service; Integrating Advanced and/or Disruptive Technologies; Project Management, Delivery, and Finance Models; Safety and Security; Sustainability and Resiliency; General Design and Construction; and Workforce Development. The research ideas are further categorized into twelve subtopics: 1) Passenger Experience; 2) Integrating Technology and Data; 3) Finance and Revenue Development; 4) Alternative Approaches to Project Delivery Mechanisms; 5) Sustainable Design and Construction; 6) Innovative Approaches to Security/TSA Operations; 7) Construction Best Practices/Guidance and Tools; 8) Modernizing and Retrofitting Airport Facilities; 9) Construction Materials; 10) Accommodating Changing Demographics; 11) Curbside, Roadways, and Vehicles; and 12) Unmanned Aerial Systems.
