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.
For this exploratory study, focus groups were convened in Northern
Virginia and Philadelphia among the general public, business owners
and managers, and owners and managers of shipping and
transportation logistics firms. The purpose of these focus groups
was to obtain feedback on a specific congestion pricing scenario
and to better understand the public's concerns regarding congestion
pricing. A secondary purpose was to learn more about how to
communicate with the public on the topic of congestion pricing.
