TAXIWAY DESIGN
TAXIWAY:
Taxiway provides access to the aircrafts from
the runways to the loading apron or service
hangar.

Turning radius
Turning radius
Whenever there is change in direction of a taxiway, a
R2= R ((0.388W2/ R) + S)
If exp. ((0.388W2/ R) + S) < T/2, no widening is needed. If it is >
T/2, the radius R1 is R1=(Dr2+(T/2)+0.3R- R22-RT/2(R- R2)
where Dr = 3W-0.4R
if Dr<W then use W instead of Dr

EXIT TAXIWAYS
Factors controlling location of exit taxiways:
Air traffic control
Location of runway
Number of exit taxiways
Exit speed
Type of aircrafts
Weather conditions
Topographical features
Pilot variability
BALANCE

Fillets :
These are provided at the junction or intersection of
two or more number of traffic ways.
If adequate fillets are not provided, one of the main
gears of aircraft ,generally the one having large
wheel base, is likely to go off the pavement on to the
shoulder.
ICAO the radius of the fillet should not be less than
the width of taxiway.
Correct requirement of fillet area can actually be
determined by the model testing.
