Design Criteria Upgrade for U.S. Army Type II Air Traffic Control Towers.
Abstract
This report documents research conducted to identify problem areas in; the design of existing Type II Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) installations and to develop standard design criteria to avoid these problems in future installations. Many design problem areas were identified in the ATCT structure's architectural design, substructure, superstructure, roof systems, exterior walls, interior construction, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and air traffic control interfaces. For each of these areas, specific solutions to the problems were recommended. However, incorporation of these solutions must consider a specific site's location and environmental conditions. Keywords: Airport control towers; Design; Architecture; and Construction.
