Improved Models for Risk Assessment of Runway Safety Areas

This report expands on the research presented in ACRP Report 3, "Analysis of Aircraft Overruns and Undershoots for Runway Safety Areas," to include the analysis of aircraft veer-offs, the use of declared distances, the implementation of the Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) and the incorporation of a risk approach for consideration of obstacles in or in the vicinity of the runway safety area (RSA). A user-friendly risk analysis tool is provided for airport and industry stakeholders to quantify risk and support planning and engineering decisions when determining RSA requirements to meet an acceptable level of safety for various types and sizes of airports. The tool is interactive and versatile to help users determine the risk based on various input parameters. It is provided on the accompanying CD-ROM, CRP-CD-98. (UPDATE: The interactive risk analysis tool was updated in 2017. The Runway Safety Area Risk Analysis Version 2.0 (RSARA2) can be downloaded as a zip file from the TRB website.)
