TRB will conduct a webinar on Wednesday, February 7, 2018, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that features research from the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)’s Research Report 168: Runway Protection Zones (RPZs) Risk Assessment Tool Users' Guide.

The research helps airport operators evaluate the risk of an aircraft accident within an RPZ. Although RPZs are supposed to be clear of structures and people, it is still common for activities to occur within an RPZ for many reasons, and these reasons can be beyond the control of the airport operator. This webinar will discuss the development of the Runway Protection Zone (RPZ) Risk Assessment Tool and the risk assessment framework that serves as the basis for the tool, and the presenters will demonstrate the tool.

This webinar is sponsored by the Airport Cooperative Research Program. There is no fee to attend this webinar; however, sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
