"TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 104: Defining and Measuring Aircraft Delay and Airport Capacity Thresholds offers guidance to help airports understand, select, calculate, and report measures of delay and capacity. The report describes common metrics, identifies data sources, recommends metrics based on an airport's needs, and suggests ways to potentially improve metrics."--Publisher's description.

This proceedings presents the latest technology and innovative practices in the field of airport and airspace development. The IATC brought together civilian and military airport managers, designers, and industry personnel from across the globe. It provided a forum for the world's leading experts to address the planning and engineering of airports to meet the challenges of increased demand, newer aircraft, and updated security requirements. Major topics discussed include airport planning; safety and management; airport modeling, analysis, and simulation; airspace and capacity innovations; airfield development case studies; and airfield design and construction.
