ACRP Report 61: Elimination or Reduction of Baggage Recheck for Arriving International Passengers identifies potential alternative procedures that could be implemented to reduce or eliminate the need for the recheck of baggage for arriving international passengers at U.S. airports; describes in detail the benefits and costs associated with these alternative procedures to airports, airlines, and federal agencies; and compares potential alternative procedures with current practices. This report will assist airports, airlines, and other stakeholders in examining policies, processes, and other drivers behind baggage recheck facilities that could lead to improved connections.

This synthesis extends previous efforts to document the state of practice for airport ground access mode choice models. It examines the characteristics of existing models and discusses the issues involved in the development and use of such models to improve the understanding and acceptance of their role in airport planning and management. Information presented in this report may be of interest to a range of airport managers, airport and regional transportation planners, consultants and transportation modeling specialists, and researchers interested in issues involving airport ground access mode choice. For this synthesis, a comprehensive review of the relevant literature was undertaken. To document the extent of the recent use of airport ground access mode choice models and to identify sources of technical documentation on existing models, this literature review was supplemented by a survey of airport authorities, metropolitan planning organizations, consulting firms and research organizations, and other government agencies and industry organizations. Follow-up communications by telephone and e-mail were made where necessary.

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 3: Analysis of Aircraft Overruns and Undershoots for Runway Safety Areas explores overrun and undershoot accident and incident data conditions relating to these occurrences. The report also includes an assessment of risk in relation to the runway safety area and highlights a set of alternatives to the traditional runway safety area.
