PROBLEMS OF GROUND TRANSPORT TO GROWING AIR TERMINALS

Robert Ramspeck

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This article focuses on the problems that rapidly growing air travel volume brought to surface transportation in the areas surrounding airports and nearby cities in the late 1940s, a time of extreme growth in the air transport industry. Air travel passengers, airport employees, sightseers, and freight cargo vehicles all contribute to the highway traffic congestion near air terminals. The need for air, highway, and urban transport planners to work together on solutions is stressed.
