      <title>Lessons Learned from Modeling the Evacuation of a Suburban University Campus</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1989444</link>
      <description><![CDATA[University campuses can be at risk during natural and man-made disasters because of the concentration of population and buildings. During emergency situations, traffic congestion may occur because of high traffic volumes and vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Evacuation modeling and planning can aid in guiding the vehicles and pedestrians to safety, in the shortest time possible. To that end, a case study was conducted on an evacuation scenario at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, an isolated campus in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The researchers used the model to predict total clearance time, identify problematic locations, and evaluate low-cost operational improvements. Although the evacuation was expected to produce large volumes of pedestrians crossing a key evacuation link, it was found that vehicle-pedestrian conflicts at these locations did not have a significant effect on the overall evacuation period because the timing of these flows was offset.]]></description>

      <title>Travel Choices at a Suburban University Campus Isolated by Forest</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1857046</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) is a suburban campus of 2,660 acres with a core campus surrounded by forest and lakes/ponds. Core campus can be accessed via six roads and one multi-use path. Located next to the City of Edwardsville and just a short drive (about 20 min) to the City of Saint Louis, MO, this university has a notable commuter student population. The student body is approximately 13,300 students who are predominantly regional, from the state of Illinois and the St. Louis metropolitan area. Because of the unique characteristics of the University campus, the authors sought to measure student, faculty, and staff travel modes, housing locations, and sustainability perceptions. The findings suggest that the cost of parking passes would need to nearly double before students would seriously consider alternatives to personal vehicles for traveling to/from campus. On the contrary, travel choices for trips within campus were more responsive to changes in mode attributes. Overall, the isolation of SIUE campus provides a unique environment to observe the travel choices of University students and employees.]]></description>

      <title>Improvements to SIU’s Engineering Campus Parking and Walkways along Campus Lake</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1407886</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Understanding the performance of natural and engineered infrastructure to reduce stormwater runoff is important in selection of management options. One of the many ways used to reduce or redirect storm water runoff is by introducing rain gardens/bioretention basins and/or pervious pavements. This study describes the results of a theoretical experiment conducted around Southern Illinois University—Carbondale’s (SIUC) College of Engineering parking lots. The project areas, approximately seven acres, includes parking for visitors and staff and some walking paths with green space. The location has been prone to flooding in the past. The study investigated the cost and feasibility of introducing rain gardens and pervious pavements around the lots to reduce storm water runoff and limit its impact on the surrounding area. Storm event data for the area were referenced to recreate specific design conditions, and geographic information systems (GIS) in combination with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM) were used for analysis. With the introduction of pervious pavements and retention areas, the goal of this study was reducing flooding around building access points and walkways frequented by students. Pervious pavements were introduced in the design to decrease initial runoff volumes and distribute excess runoff to retention areas. Overall, the study focused on reducing the volume of runoff, through pervious pavements and collection areas, on two sites at SIUC’s Campus.]]></description>

      <title>A Comparison of the Success of Native and Transfer Private Pilots at Southern Illinois University Carbondale</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/879204</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study seeks differences in the degree completion and time-to-degree of native vs. transfer private pilots along with transfer private pilots required to take proficiency training vs. those who did not take proficiency training before enrolling in the aviation flight program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). An ex-post facto descriptive study of 338 flight students that began commercial pilot training between the fall 1998 through the summer 2003 semesters measured completion or exit from the SIUC flight program. The study population was determined from the Student Information System and the data on degree completion and time-to-degree was gathered from the students’ flight training records. Chi-squares were used to determine significance (p<.05) in degree completion percentages and t-tests were used to determine days-to-degree significance (p<.05). The study concludes there are no significant differences between native and transfer or proficiency and direct-entry private pilots at SIUC.]]></description>

      <title>AIRLINE FLIGHT OPERATIONS INTERNSHIPS: PERSPECTIVES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/748690</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Many students in collegiate aviation flight programs participate in airline flight operations internship programs.  This study examines how some former interns perceived their airline flight operations internship experience and its value in the pursuit of career goals.  The study participants were former interns from the Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Aviation Management and Flight program who participated in internships offered at one of several airlines.  A Likert scale questionnaire was used in the study.  Descriptive statistical methods and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze the data.  Results of the study indicate the respondents perceived their airline flight operations internship to be a positive experience with significant value in the pursuit of career goals.  The majority of respondents felt that the internship was educational and significantly increased their knowledge of the airline industry. Findings showed no statistically significant difference in the manner in which the internship experience was perceived among respondents from different airlines.]]></description>

      <title>A FOLLOW-UP SURVEY OF 1985-1996 GRADUATES OF THE AVIATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE AT SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CARBONDALE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/695551</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In 1997 and 1998, a follow-up study of graduates who had earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aviation Management from the College of Applied Sciences and Arts at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale was conducted. The aim of the study was to: 1) determine a demographic, educational, and occupational profile of the graduates, and 2) to obtain an evaluation of the program in terms of the degree to which it helped graduates achieve their occupational and/or life goals. The study population consisted of students who graduated from the aviation management degree program from 1985-96. A population of 2,663 graduates was identified. A mail-in survey instrument was used to gather data for the follow-up study. Three mailings were conducted, resulting in 806 usable returns and a 31% response rate. Key findings are: 86% indicated that the degree was an asset that assisted them in achieving their occupational and/or life goals; 90% indicated that they would recommend the program to others; 59% reported that they are employed within the aviation industry; 68% reported earning annual salaries in excess of $35,000; and 63% indicated that they were satisfied with their current levels of employment.]]></description>

      <title>NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF A MAJOR METROPOLITAN RELIEVER AIRPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/500045</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Late in 1994, investigators from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, conducted a survey of based-users and transient-users of Palwaukee Municipal Airport of Wheeling, Illinois. Palwaukee is designated as a reliever airport by the Federal Aviation Administration and thereby eligible for federal funding. The purpose of the study was to determine user satisfaction with the airport, its services, and its facilities. The study appraised among other areas, whether or not and to what degree users were satisfied with Palwaukee and if they were considering a move to another location. The survey detailed user rationale for satisfaction and/or dissatisfaction with Palwaukee and the potential for relocation. The survey takes a comprehensive approach to identifying based-user and transient-user levels of satisfaction at Palwaukee. The full range of aircraft operators permanently based there as well as transient aircraft operators passing through were considered in the survey.]]></description>
