The Aircraft/Airport Compatibility Committee (AV070) collaborates with various TRB committees and other professional organizations that share the same interest in advancing aviation infrastructure. These partners include committees and workgroups of associations in the United States – such as the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) – and abroad as well. Although Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines are more pertinent to the TRB AV070 community, our committee seeks the opportunity to provide professional expertise internationally through involvement in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in establishing safe and efficient air travel internationally.
As part of the AV070 Aircraft/Airport Compatibility Committee, the AV070(1) GIS and Data Subcommittee focuses on Airport Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) and data in general. The subcommittee collaborates with the TRB ABJ60 Geographic Information Science and Applications Committee.
This committee is concerned with the development, evaluation, integration and application of existing and new systems of pavement management and the component concepts and models for all types of pavements. This includes the development, assessment and application of new and existing methods and procedures directed toward a better understanding and description of pavements as a whole and the interrelationships among all factors which influence pavement behavior and performance and which must be taken into consideration in making pavement management decisions, including such factors as loads, environment, strategy alternatives, economics, construction and maintenance.
