GENERATION OF 1995 INTRA-URBAN PERSON TRAVEL DEMAND FOR AIR CARRIER AIRPORTS

A brief outline of a method for the long term estimation of the total number of ground journeys generated by a major airport is presented. Ground trips made by airline passengers and by associated staff necessary to service the airport are both included. The method is applied in the article to forecasts for the years 1985 and 1995 for two airports in the Chicago area--Midway and O'Hare. Such a method can be used in planning future highway and mass transit provision for airports as part of a total transportation system for an urban area.
