Abstract

The critical concern of modern airports is the air pollution generated by air traffic and its impact on the airport environment. Air pollution is an unavoidable consequence of air traffic, but it can be reduced in numerous ways, including technical innovations in aircraft design and legislation. This paper presents a model of air traffic assignment as a measure to mitigate the concentration of air traffic pollution. The air traffic assignment model was developed specifically for Nikola Tesla Airport but could easily be applied to other airports. The model is based on the categorisation of aircraft according to engine type and the assignment of specific runways for take-off and landing for each aircraft category. It incorporates two basic goals: to increase airport capacity and to reduce the pollution level in the area around the airport. Although these goals are contradictory, it has been shown in the case of Nikola Tesla Airport that the proposed air traffic assignment model successfully creates pollution level equilibrium in the area around the runway thresholds and an increase in airport capacity. The paper suggests pollution measurement points as the basis for a pollution management tool and system for daily air traffic pollution control.


Oro transporto paskirstymo modelis oro uosto oro taršos valdymo sistemoje


Santrauka. Šiame straipsnyje aprašomas oro transporto paskirstymo modelis, leidžiantis sumažinti oro transporto srautų sukeliamą oro taršą. Šis modelis sukurtas Nikola Tesla oro uostui, bet yra lengvai pritaikomas ir kitiems oro uostams. Modelio pagrindas – tai orlaivių klasifikavimas pagal variklių tipus ir tam tikrų KTT paskyrimas atitinkamoms kategorijoms. Siekiama išnaudoti visas oro uosto galimybes ir sumažinti taršos lygį. Nors tikslai atrodo priešingi, tačiau įrodyta, kad pasiūlytas oro transporto paskirstymo modelis sėkmingai išlaiko taršos lygio pasiskirstymą prie KTT pradžios ir padidina oro uosto galimybes. Taip pat siūlomi tinkami taršos matavimo taškai kasdienei oro taršos kontrolei.
