Abstract

Runway occupancy time (ROT) data are essential to effectively monitor current airport operating efficiencies and to plan for the introduction of new aircraft surface movement guidance and control systems. This study was commissioned to provide a large and useful set of current ROT data for a major airport that could be used to support analyses aimed at improving the efficiency and safety of surface operations. This study was conducted at Atlanta´s Hartsfield International Airport using the NASA Dynamic Runway Occupancy Measurement System (DROMS). Analyses were conducted to determine the factors that determine ROT such as aircraft weight, velocity, air carrier, and meteorological conditions
