The National Academies' Transportation Research Board issued the following news:

TRB will conduct a webinar on Thursday, December 6, 2012, from 2:00 PM ET to 3:30 PM ET that will feature research conducted by TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) about various aspects of terminal planning and design, with an emphasis on wayfinding and airport curbside and terminal area roadway operations. There is no fee to register for this webinar, participants must register in advance, and 1.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are available for Accredited Airport Executives (A.A.E.) who attend this webinar. This webinar is approved by the American Institute of Certified Planners for 1.5 certification maintenance credits.

Planners and designers for all sizes of airports may struggle with designing passenger terminals that provide good value and level-of-service efficiency that meet the criteria of many aspects of airport terminals. The presentations in this webinar will highlight the following ACRP reports that address these issues:

Bruce Anderson of Landrum & Brown will summarize the results of ACRP Report 25: Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design. Bruce will explore best practices that were identified in the passenger terminal planning process. He will outline important criteria and requirements needed to address emerging trends and create solutions for airport passenger terminals.

Jim Harding of Gresham of Smith and Partners will present findings from ACRP Report 52: Wayfinding and Signing Guidelines for Airport Terminals and Landside. Jim will share his insights on how airport operators can review, update, enhance, or develop their airport wayfinding and signing plans.

Peter Mandle of LeighFisher will present findings from ACRP Report 40: Airport Curbside and Terminal Area Roadway Operations. Peter will discuss how airport operators and others can analyze their airport terminal area roadway and curbside operations. He will outline guidelines for estimating airport roadway requirements and capacities, recommended performance measures, valid and useful analytical methods, and potential measures to improve terminal area and curbside roadway operations.

Moderated by: Danielle Rinsler, U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
