Book Description
Washington Dulles International Airport is one of the three major airports that transports passengers into and out of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The beauty of the site is admired not only by millions who arrive and leave the area, but by local residents as well. After an extensive study of three separate locations in Virginia, Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower agreed to the Chantilly site and later chose to rename the world's first jet airport after his former secretary of state, John Foster Dulles. Renowned architect Eero Saarinen designed the magnificent building that serves as a gateway in and out of the United States. Today, the once peaceful farming area and small villages have turned into a fast-paced business world filled with thousands of new homes and residents.

Book Description
An analysis of mobile-lounge traffic and servicevehicle traffic on the Dulles International Airport ramp is presented. Mathematical models were used that were developed under the previous phase of this contract and reported in Airport Runway, Taxiway, and Ramp Design. Vehicle operation and taxiing aircraft characteristics were observed at Idlewild Airport. The results of the analysis indicate that there will be no appreciable delays for either mobile lounge or other vehicular traffic in crossing the taxi lanes in the aircraft-parking ramp areas. In addition, it is recommended that a semi-automatic control system be considered for controlling the vehicular traffic crossing the aircraft-parking ramp area. A three-phase construction program is proposed to keep pace with the stages in the airport's development. (Author).
