Runway incursions are defined as the unauthorized presence of a
vehicle, pedestrian, or aircraft on a runway. Identifying
situations or conditions in which runway incursions are more likely
to be severe can suggest policy implications and areas for future
safety research. Previous work in this area focused on a narrative
approach. This study seeks to examine runway incursions from a
statistical perspective and provide insights into the broad trends
underlying severity. This report analyzes 10 years of runway
incursion event information. A variety of FAA data sources were
used to provide information on the event itself, airport
characteristics, and airport operations at the time of the
incident. Weather information was also incorporated using automated
weather readings from airports. The culmination of the analysis is
a series of discrete choice models focusing on different sets of
incident characteristics.
