| Abstract | Improving runway safety is part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Plan (FAA, 2005) with annual goals established for the reduction of runway incursions, including vehicle pedestrian deviations (VPDs). Reducing VPDs is a difficult task since some VPDs are caused by people who are not authorized to drive on the airport surface. Some VPDs are caused by authorized ground vehicle-operators, however, and these events may be preventable through training. Most commercial airports require some form of training and licensing for drivers operating vehicles on the airport surface. The goal of the training is to instruct drivers in safe operating practices while on the airport surface. Efforts to improve training are underway at many airports with an emphasis on reducing VPDs. Some airport operators are considering the use of driving simulators as a tool in the training process. This report addresses the use of driving simulators as one potential component of a comprehensive ground vehicle operator-training program for the overall improvement of runway safety. |
