Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2471 consists of 9 papers selected for awards in a nationwide competition under the 2014 to 2015 Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues. Topics explored by the papers include U.S. civil air show crashes, 1993 to 2013; identifying and analyzing atypical flights; spatiotemporal dynamics in identification of aircraft–bird strikes; airport infrastructure investment; quantifying the performance of warm-mix asphalt and reclaimed asphalt pavement in flexible airfield pavements; and airfield pavement response caused by heavy aircraft takeoff. This issue also explores the impact of heavy aircraft takeoffs on airfield pavement; an evaluation of pavement preservation and maintenance activities at general aviation airports in Texas; airport traffic and metropolitan economies; and an analysis of the timing of flight delay announcements by U.S. airlines. The Graduate Research Award Program on Public-Sector Aviation Issues is managed by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program and sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration. The program is designed to encourage applied research on airport and related aviation system issues and to foster the next generation of aviation community leaders.
