Abstract

Recent disruptions in transportation systems resulting from natural disasters, cyber accidents, and other factors clearly show the fragility of the airports and underscore the need for building resilience. This study introduces a comprehensive framework for evaluating the resilience of airport infrastructure, integrating critical functions and performance indicators in the context of specific missions that the airport needs to achieve. By focusing on the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) as a case study, the paper outlines a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) methodology for identifying and assessing the critical functions of airports as well as their ability to recover and adapt under different threat scenarios including threat-agnostic situation. The methodology and its application to the DFW case study offer insights into the resilience of airport operations, highlighting key areas for improvement and the potential for policy intervention. This study provides a robust tool for airport administrators and policymakers to enhance infrastructure resilience through a detailed analysis and visualization of airport performance indicators, thereby contributing to the broader discourse on transportation system sustainability and disaster preparedness.

机场基础设施弹性性能指标

近期因自然灾害、网络事故和其他因素导致的运输系统中断清楚地表明了机场的脆弱性，并强调了建设复原力的必要性。本研究介绍了评估机场基础设施抗灾能力的综合框架，将关键功能和性能指标与机场需要实现的特定任务相结合。本文以达拉斯-沃斯堡国际机场（DFW）为案例，概述了一种多标准决策分析（MCDA）方法，用于识别和评估机场的关键功能，以及机场在不同威胁情况下（包括与威胁无关的情况）的恢复和适应能力。该方法及其在 DFW 案例研究中的应用有助于深入了解机场运营的恢复能力，突出需要改进的关键领域以及政策干预的潜力。这项研究为机场管理者和政策制定者提供了一个强有力的工具，通过对机场性能指标的详细分析和可视化来提高基础设施的抗灾能力，从而为更广泛地讨论交通系统的可持续性和备灾问题做出贡献。

期刊介绍： Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution. We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
