... Project Objectives The original objective of this project was to collect historical information related to overrun and undershoot accidents and incidents to develop a comprehensive and organized database with editing and querying capabilities, containing critical parameters, including aircraft, airport, runway, operation, and causal factor and consequence information that could assist the evaluation of runway safety areas. The research team extended the project objective to include the development of risk models for overrun and undershoot events.

... Applied to any specific airport, the analysis approach for RSA risk assessment developed in this study will allow users to determine if the risk is relatively high or low and whether there is a need for risk management action. The safety benefits provided by possible mitigation measures (e.g., increased size of RSA)
