Airports of the Future

该项目将提高澳大利亚机场运营商设计和管理复杂机场系统的能力。研究结果将有助于确定行为模式，并将提供工具来管理机场的有效性，平衡相互冲突的安全，经济和航空公司驱动的压力。其成果将提高生产力，增强关键基础设施的保护能力，并减少强制性安全的成本，预计到2010年，澳大利亚五大机场的安全成本将增加到1.52亿美元。该项目的交付成果将可转移到其他复杂的社会技术系统，从而有可能改造澳大利亚的一系列关键基础设施和交通枢纽。

This project will enhance the capabilities of Australian airport operators to design and manage complex airport systems. Research outcomes will enable the identification of patterns of behaviour and will provide tools to manage airport effectiveness and balance conflicting security, economic and passenger-driven pressures. Outcomes will improve productivity, enhance capabilities for critical infrastructure protection, and lessen the cost of mandated security, estimated to grow to $152M by 2010 for the five major Australian airports. The deliverables of this project will be transferable to other complex socio-technical systems providing the potential to transform a range of Australian critical infrastructure and transportation hubs.
