Download or read book Cost Benefit Analysis Modeling Tool for Electric Vs. ICE Airport Ground Support Equipment-development and Results written by Kevin Morrow and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report documents efforts to develop a computer tool for modeling the economic payback for comparative airport ground support equipment (GSE) that are propelled by either electric motors or gasoline and diesel engines. The types of GSE modeled are pushback tractors, baggage tractors, and belt loaders. The GSE modeling tool includes an emissions module that estimates the amount of tailpipe emissions saved by replacing internal combustion engine GSE with electric GSE. This report contains modeling assumptions, methodology, a user's manual, and modeling results. The model was developed based on the operations of two airlines at four United States airports."--P. iv.
