Summary:

TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Report 149: Improving Ground Support Equipment Operational Data for Airport Emissions Modeling provides a potential update to the current data set of default ground support equipment (GSE) fleet and activity used for passenger and cargo aircraft. The report includes a protocol to improve the accuracy and consistency of data collection for airport GSE activity compatible with the Emissions and Dispersion Modeling System (EDMS) and the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT).
