Abstract:

The continued growth of air travel warrants the constant expansion of airports to meet increasing demand. With a forward-thinking mindset and a focus on continuous economic growth, airports such as Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in North Carolina sees itself rising to the forefront. Thus, there is a need to determine how airports can better manage existing infrastructure to accommodate this growth. This study, focuses on (1) investigating how changes in transportation infrastructure have affected travel time reliability (TTR) of the surrounding road network within an airport’s vicinity over time, and (2) exploring selected unconventional intersection designs and proposing new inbound/outbound access routes from nearby major roads to the airport. The study used CLT as the case.
