This document discusses the various factors that affect airport lighting and describes the different types of lights used at airports. It explains that airport lighting needs to be standardized to guide pilots landing at unfamiliar airports. The key elements of airport lighting discussed include airport beacons, approach lighting, runway lighting, taxiway lighting, and threshold lighting. Precise patterns and configurations are used for different types of lights to clearly identify runways, taxiways, and other areas to pilots during nighttime and low visibility conditions. Maintenance of airport lights is also an important consideration.

Moscow, ID case study traffic operationKushal Patel
This presentation shows a case study conducted at a intersection at Moscow, ID. provides a brief outline about the points to be considered for analyzing a intersection.
http://www.hcmguide.com/index.htm
This case study investigates a situation at the University of Florida regarding the impacts of a new parking structure on Museum Road in Gainesville, Florida. The increased traffic to and from the new structure would access this facility via a two-way stop-controlled intersection, but alternatives are being analyzed to determine the best solution for this and adjacent intersections along Museum Road. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit-related activities are high within this section of Museum Road, and so the solution must be sensitive to and consider all travel modes.
Eia methods for transportation projectKushal Patel
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS study is a time-consuming process because it has a large number of dependent and independent variables which have to be taken into account (e.g. land use, land price, population density, socio-economic level, road accessibility, railway accessibility, air quality, ground water quality, noise level, biological content, historical value, archeological and visual importance), which also have different consequences. Traditionally, environmental data was collected to test hypotheses and simulate environmental systems using in situ (field) methodology
Plane Table Surveying is a graphical method of survey in which the field observations and plotting are done simultaneously.
It is simple and cheaper than theodolite survey. It is most suitable for small scale maps.
The plan is drawn by the surveyor in the field, while the area to be surveyed is before his eyes. Therefore, there is no possibility of omitting the necessary measurements.
Enviromental impact assesment for highway projectsKushal Patel
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a tool to study various impact to be occurred due to new development actions.
Transportation Project are the projects which provides ease to the movement of vehicles.
This Paper presents a case study for analysis of EIA for a transportation project. This Paper would provide a methodology which will allow transportation planers to make a cost effective coordination of environmental information and data management.
The results assess the environmental vulnerability around the road and its impact on environment by integration the merits of GIS.
Increasing travel congestion has been a growing concern to engineers and planners of the states’ DOT, responsible local agencies, the general public and elected officials due to its impact on mobility and economy.
Congestion, in general, reduces the capacity of the roadway and makes the traffic condition unstable.
As congestion increases, reliability of travel becomes an increasingly important attribute for users of transportation networks
The focus of this paper is to develop and illustrate the working of a geographic information systems GIS based methodology to estimate congestion and assess reliability of links on a road network considering both recurring and nonrecurring congestion components by time period of the day.
The estimated reliability can be used to identify optimal travel paths and make better routing decisions
For this research data collected was for the city of Charlotte in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina which are used to demonstrate the methodology.
The geometric design of roads is the branch of highway engineering concerned with the positioning of the physical elements of the roadway according to standards and constraints. The basic objectives in geometric design are to optimize efficiency and safety while minimizing cost and environmental damage. Geometric design also affects an emerging fifth objective called "livability," which is defined as designing roads to foster broader community goals, including providing access to employment, schools, businesses and residences, accommodate a range of travel modes such as walking, bicycling, transit, and automobiles, and minimizing fuel use, emissions and environmental damage.
Geometric roadway design can be broken into three main parts: alignment, profile, and cross-section. Combined, they provide a three-dimensional layout for a roadway.
The alignment is the route of the road, defined as a series of horizontal tangents and curves.
The profile is the vertical aspect of the road, including crest and sag curves, and the straight grade lines connecting them.
The cross section shows the position and number of vehicle and bicycle lanes and sidewalks, along with their cross slope or banking. Cross sections also show drainage features, pavement structure and other items outside the category of geometric design.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. FACTORS AFFECTING AIRPORT
LIGHTING:
• Airport classification
• Amount of traffic
• Availability of power
• Nature of aircraft using the airport
• Type of night operation plans
• Type of landing surfaces provided
• Weather condition, etc.
By Kushal Patel
2
3. (contd.)
• To achieve uniformity and to guide pilots for unfamiliar
airports, colours and general arrangement of airport lights are
standardized.
• Airport lights are kept clean, well-maintained, checked
regularly for faulty bulbs and replacement.
• Tough and laborious job, major airport contains 30,000 lights
• Provision of emergency power supplies, which can take over in
seconds in case of any power failure.
By Kushal Patel

4. ELEMENTS OF AIRPORT
LIGHTING:
• Airport beacon
• Approach lighting
• Apron and hangar lighting
• Boundary lighting
• Lighting of landing direction indicator
• Lighting of wind direction indicator
• Runway lighting
• Taxiway lighting
• Threshold lighting
By Kushal Patel
4
5. 1) AIRPORT BEACON:
• Beacon- strong beam of light- used to indicate any
geographical location- situated slightly above the horizontal-rotated
to produce flashing light to an observer.
• It gives out white and green flashes in the horizontal
directions 180◦ apart. Flashes are visible for the pilot from
any direction of approach and it indicates the
approximate situation of an airport equipped for the
night operations.
• Rotates at six revolutions per minute- mounted at top of
terminal building or hangar.
By Kushal Patel
5
6. (contd.)
• Obstruction not cleared yet- then separate tower is provided
for installation of rotating beacon.
• Code beacon- indicates light provided sufficiently high to clear
all obstructions.
• It consists of two 500 watts bulb with green colour screen.
• Continuously flashes a Morse code signal designating the
airport.
By Kushal Patel
6
9. APPROACH LIGHTING:
• Before runway begins- sequence of high-intensity lighting
arrangement for a length of 900m.
• Helps pilots to check if the aircraft is centered correctly of not.
• Gives way to touchdown zone lights from threshold of the
runway.
• Normally mounted on pedestals-varying heights-to
accommodate any irregularities in ground- ensuring the lights
themselves are in level.
By Kushal Patel
9
11. 1) Calvert system:
• Widely used in Europe and other parts of the world.
• Developed by E.S.Calvert in Great Britain.
• In this, there are six transverse rows of lights of variable length
placed at a c/c distance of 15om.
• In this, the roll guidance is principally provided by the
transverse rows of lights.
By Kushal Patel
11
13. 2) ICAO system:
• Known as centre-line configuration.
• In this, there is only one crossbar 300m from the threshold.
• In this, the roll guidance is provided by bars 4.2m in length,
placed at 30m c/c on the extended centre-line of the runway
and a single crossbar 300m from the threshold.
• The 4.2m long bars consists of 5 closely spaced lights to give
the effect of continuous bar of light.
By Kushal Patel
13
16. APRON AND HANGAR LIGHTING:
• These areas for are flood lit for the convenience in servicing
and loading
• Flood-lighting system: constitues a projector designed to be
arranged to illuminate a surface.
• Mounted such a way that they do not cause glare in the eyes
of the pilots, passengers and service personnel.
• Recommendation: flood lights should be placed at a height of
not less than 12m above the pavement.
By Kushal Patel
16
17. BOUNDARY LIGHTING:
• Entire boundary of the airfield is provided with lights at a c/c
distance of about 90m with height of about 75cm from the
ground.
• If fence is provided along the boundary, then these lights
should be placed inside the fence at a distance of about 3m.
• For indicating hazardous approach, the boundary lights are
provided with red marker lights
By Kushal Patel
17
19. LIGHTING OF LANDING DIRECTION
INDICATOR:
• The landing direction indicator is illuminated with suitable
lighting arrangement so that the airport can be used at night
also.
By Kushal Patel
19
21. LIGHTING OF WIND DIRECTION
INDICATOR:
• The wind direction indicator is illuminated by four 200 watts
angle reflectors placed 1.8m above the top of the cone for
providing a continuous lighting at any position of the cone.
• This arrangement grants the use of wind direction indicator at
night and during bad weathers.
By Kushal Patel
21
22. RUNWAY LIGHTING:
• After crossing the threshold, the pilot must complete a
touchdown and roll out on the runway.
• The planning of runway lighting is carried out in such a way
that the pilot gets enough information on alignment, lateral
displacement, roll and distance.
• The lights are so arranged so that they form a visual pattern
which the pilot can interpret easily.
• During night landings, flood lights were used in olden days.
But now runway edge lights are adopted.
By Kushal Patel
22
23. (contd.)
• Narrow gauge pattern- the most precise runway alignment
which is widely used.
• It makes use of centre-line and touch down zone lights for
operations in very poor visibility.
• Black hole effect: As the pilot crosses the threshold, and
continues to look along the centre-line, the principal source of
guidance, namely, the edge lights has moved far to each side
in the peripheral vision. As a result, the central area appears
black and the pilot is virtually flying blind for the peripheral
reference information.
By Kushal Patel
23
24. (contd.)
• This can be eliminated by adopting the narrow gauge pattern
of the runway lighting, the central portion gets illuminated
and the black hole effect is partly eliminated.
• The narrow gauge pattern forms a channel of light of 18m
width up to 1140m from the threshold and beyond this
distance, the closely spaced lights are placed along the centre-line
of the runway extending up to the other end of the
runway.
By Kushal Patel
24
25. (contd.)
• All the lights provided on the runway are white in colour and
of flush type, i.e. they do not protrude more than 1cm above
the surface of pavement.
• The runway edge lights are of elevated type and they are
white colour except for the last 400m if an instrument runway
facing the pilot which are of yellow colour to indicte a caution
zone.
By Kushal Patel
25
28. TAXIWAY LIGHTING:
• The pilots have to manoeuvre the aircrafts on a system of
taxiways to and from the terminal and hangar areas either
after landing or on the way to take off
• The taxiway system is much complicated on large airports and
therefore it is necessary to provide adequate lighting at night
and at daytime when the visibility is very poor.
By Kushal Patel
28
29. Design considerations to be applied to
the visual aids for the taxiways:
• For normal exits- centreline terminated at the edge of the runway.
• At taxiway intersections, the lights continue across
the intersection. They are placed at a distance of 6m
to 7.5m along the straight length and 3m to 3.6m
along the curves.
• The complete route from the runway to the apron should be easily
identified.
• The edge lights should not extend more than 75cm above the
pavement surface.
By Kushal Patel
29
30. (contd.)
• The exits from the runways should be so lighted that the pilots
are able to locate the exits 360m to 400m ahead of the point
of turn.
• The intersection of taxiways and runways-taxiway crossings
should be clearly marked.
• The lights on the tangent portion are placed not more than
60m apart and the distance from the edge along the curves
and the intersections to facilitate easy identification. The
spacing varies from 6m for curve of radius 4.5m to 60m for a
curve of 300m.
By Kushal Patel
30
31. (contd.)
• There should be adequate guidance along the taxiway.
• The taxiway edge lights are blue and the taxiway centre lights
are green.
• The taxiway should be clearly identified so that they are not
confused with the runways.
By Kushal Patel
31
35. THRESHOLD LIGHTING:
• Identification of threshold- a major factor for decision of the
pilot to land or not to land
• For this reason, the region near the threshold is given with
special lighting treatment.
• At large airports: threshold is identified by a complete line of
green lights extending across the entire width of the runway.
They must be of semi-flash type, i.e. protruding not more than
12cm above the surface.
By Kushal Patel
35
36. (contd.)
• At small airports, the threshold is identified by four lights on
each side of the threshold. They can be of elevated type, i.e.
protruding more than 12cm above the surface.
• The threshold lights in the direction if landing are green and in
the opposite direction, they are red to indicated the end of
the runway.
By Kushal Patel
