Some aspects of ground access airports were investigated. The term ground access covers the total spectrum of transportation which services an airport, both on and off the airfield. London's major airport, Heathrow (England), was chosen as a base for the investigation. From the data collected the following were analyzed: the different modes and combinations of modes used to access the airport; any patterns that may be found among different groupings of passengers and the choice of modes they used; the passengers' evaluation of the level of service experiences in relation to their chosen mode(s); other modes considered or which they would have liked to see available. The development of mode choice models was investigated using the findings of the study. Background information on the topic is reviewed and methodology and analytical procedures used are discussed. The data and results are reviewed. Findings are summarized and some useful conclusions, both for London Heathrow and airports in general, are drawn.
