TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Web-Only Document 37: Research Roadmap in the Area of Airport Operations and Maintenance outlines the key research gaps and areas of interest for airports in the field of operations and maintenance (O&M) over the next five years. Based on the result of the outreach and literature review, forty-two research ideas were generated and categorized into nine high-level themes, including:

Continuity of Operations
Financial Resources and Procurement
Facility and Operational Modernization
General Asset Management and Maintenance
Integrating Advanced and/or Disruptive Technologies
Safety and Security
Sustainability and Resiliency
Unmanned Aerial Systems / Vehicles
O&M Workforce

The completed "Research Roadmap in the Area of Airport Operations and Maintenance" consists of the following products:

An interactive version of Appendix B.
Appendix C: Research Ideas Database, which is a searchable Excel file containing all forty-two ideas generated during the project. The Idea Database includes relevant Idea Hub tags for each research idea to further demonstrate the multi-dimensional nature of the knowledge gaps
Narrated PowerPoint: The presentation provides readers with an overview of the project, the roadmap development process and instructions for how to read the Visual Research Roadmap.
