Journal of Transportaation Engineering
Special Issue on Air Transportation
Call for Papers

The Airport Planning and Operations Committee of the ASCE Transportation and Development Institute is soliciting papers for a Special Issue of the Journal of Transportation Engineering on current topics in air transportation.  The committee is interested in papers on all aspects of airport planning and operations, in particular intermodal issues in aviation, aircraft-airport compatibility, runway safety, airfield capacity and delay, implications of the Next Generation Air Transportation System for airport operations, terminal planning and design, airport land-use compatibility, airport finance and lessons learned from airport development.  In order to encourage additional submissions, the deadline for receipt of full papers has been extended to February 1, 2008 to provide authors additional time to prepare their papers.

Deadline:  Authors interested in submitting a paper for the Special Issue are requested to send a 250 word abstract to the Special Issue subcommittee at the address below as soon as possible, if they have not already done so.  This will allow the subcommittee to provide authors with feedback on the appropriateness of their planned paper to the scope of the Special Issue and information on the paper submission procedure.  Full papers will be due by February 1, 2008 and will be subject to the standard ASCE peer review process.
