Graduate Research Award Program on Public Sector Aviation Issues Update: 2008-2013. Research Results Digest 19.

摘要

This digest summarizes the results 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 full-time 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 a North American 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. This digest provides initial information for the 20132014 academic year, includes abstracts for student papers from the 20122013 and 20112012 academic years, and lists papers from prior academic years beginning in 2008-2009.
