Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wayfinding and signage provisions, sensitivity of senior driving behavior and road safety. A driving simulator to simplify the airport navigation was developed. Three scenario types were designed to provide a variety of driving situations and complexity of the road designs to the airport. The complexity of way finding with the assorted road furniture such as signage adverts and street lights also were included. Experience car drivers who held valid UK driving license were asked to drive simulated routes. Fifteen drivers in range of age 50-54, 55-59 and over 60 years were selected to perform the study. Participants drove for approximately 20 minutes to complete the simulated driving. The types of errors (parameter) of simulated driving were identified: risk of collisions, exceed the speed limit, traffic light tickets, centerline crossings and road edge excursions. The drivers’ performance and parameter were compared to the age group. Results were analyzed by ANOVA and discussed with reference to the use of driving simulator. The ANOVA confirmed that senior drivers’ age group have no significant effect on the airport road design, wayfinding and all research parameters; risk of collisions, exceed the speed limit, traffic light tickets, centerline crossings and road edge excursions.

Abstract

The inclusion of cost and benefit analysis (CBA) on the airport road access wayfinding design is important. Standard CBA was used to determine the additional costs incurred and benefits from airport road access wayfinding development. This concept paper explains the willingness to trade-off between the social benefits and the cost comparison of airport road access wayfinding design. The importance of airport cost and benefit structures and their influence on the decision-making process for the provision of airport road access wayfinding was considered. The key issues were then analysed and presented; costs (i.e. investment, operating, maintenance, and fuel consumption costs); benefits (i.e. travel time, accident reduction savings, and airport road advertising revenue). The CBA is an appropriate technique for the airport road access wayfinding appraisal. It has an explicit normative basis and was performed for the purpose of guidelines of informing airport management and road sign design professionals that the alternative airport road access wayfinding with the largest positive Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) exceeding 1.0 would be given primary consideration as the preferred course of action.
