Airports of the future

Project Vision:
“To provide a world-class platform for the continuous improvement of airport planning, design and operations”

Ultimately, the goal: to improve airport effectiveness and cultivate flexibility for the sustained growth of airport operations. Research outcomes are expected to provide tools to manage airport effectiveness and balance conflicting security, economic and passenger-driven pressures.

These tools will improve productivity, enhance capabilities for critical infrastructure protection, and lessen the cost of mandated security, which is estimated to grow to $152 million by 2010 for the five major Australian airports.

The deliverables of this project will be transferable to other complex socio technical systems providing the potential to transform a range of Australian critical infrastructure and transportation hubs.
