Agis applications in airport planning and design

GIS can provide the airport management staff with visual pavement information and powerful analysis tool. Mean while, the spatial information managed by GIS can ensure the accumulation of valid attribute data of airport pavement. Based on the principle and general implementation process of GIS and the characteristics of airport pavement management, this thesis describes the implementation process of GIS for Erbil Airport planning and design. To organize the spatial entities effectively, some layers are set according to the characteristics of spatial entities. The spatial database is established, and then the function design of GIS software is presented including map exploring, map locating, spatial query, rendering style of map and output of map. Airports are finding an integrated geographic information system (AGIS) can help them to better manage both air-side and ground-side operations; in this thesis the section on the ground was the case study, Representative the AGIS in building infrastructure layers of Erbil international airport buildings and pavements. The results were a map includes multi layers; each layer has information that contains a comprehensive database. Even more the digital library for Erbil International Airport involves general information about aircraft noise pollution and studying its effect on the surrounding area of the flight track generating a noise pollution map.
