Abstract:

This report is written in response to the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Division of Aeronautics, relating to the need to update the 2011 version of the California Airport Land Use Planning (ALUP) Handbook. The purpose of this technical report and its supplementary materials is to provide a robust scientific foundation for the final Handbook update publication for airport land use compatibility planning, which will be created soon by Caltrans. In this study, optimized are visualizations of spatial distribution patterns of aviation accidents across 259 airports in California. Accident data by geographic coordinates are derived from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) for 2008-2022. The accident database is analyzed through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) overlay and point pattern analysis. Results highlight a notable concentration of accidents near the borders between Zones 5 and 6, suggesting potential expansions of Zone 5 into Zone 6. This research contributes to airport land use compatibility strategies by proposing data-driven modifications to safety zones, enhancing their effectiveness in protecting airport vicinities from accidents.
