Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues. Research Results Digest 14

摘要

This digest summarizes the results of the initial four years of the Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues (ACRP Project 11-04). This program, sponsored by the FAA and administered by the ACRP, is designed to encourage applied research on airport-related aviation system issues and to foster the next generation of aviation community leaders. Under the program, up to ten awards of $10,000 each are made to fulltime graduate students for successful completion of a research paper on public-sector airport-related aviation issues during the academic year. Candidates must be full-time students enrolled in a graduate degree program at an accredited institution of higher learning during the academic year. Successful papers are presented at the TRB Annual Meeting following completion of the program; and exceptional papers have been published in subsequent volumes of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board. The academic years covered in this digest begin with 2008-2009 and extend through 2011-2012.
