  • Aircraft Noise: Annoyance, House Prices and Valuation 
    Brooker, Peter (Institute of Acoustics, 2006-05)
    “Nobody wants to buy your house. It’s the aircraft noise. You’ll have to reduce the price a lot.” Aircraft noise around airports causes annoyance, and tends to reduce the price of affected properties. Can annoyance ...
  • Airport safety, capacity and investment 
    Brooker, Peter (2005-07-12)
    The title ‘Airport Safety, Capacity and Investment’ could potentially cover an enormous range of topics and approaches. Techniques used include probabilistic risk analysis, queueing theory, operational research, and cost ...
  • ANASE: Lessons from 'Unreliable Findings' 
    Brooker, Peter (2008)
    In late 2007, the ANASE (Attitudes to Noise from Aviation Sources in England) report was published. It claimed that people are increasingly annoyed by aircraft noise, and it estimated how much they would be willing to ...
  • ANASE: measuring aircraft noise annoyance very unreliably. 
    Brooker, Peter (Blackwell Publishing, 2008-03)
    Does anyone who lives under a flight-path like aircraft noise? It is a political hot potato as well as a peace-destroyer. Tens of thousands of people will hear the noise from any third runway at Heathrow. So, when a study ...
  • ANASE: Unreliable - owing to design-induced biases 
    Brooker, Peter (Institute of Acoustics, 2008-01)
    In November 2007, the ANASE (Attitudes to Noise from Aviation Sources in England) report was published. It claimed that people are increasingly annoyed by aircraft noise, and it estimated how much they would be ‘willing ...
  • Are There Good Air Traffic Management Safety Indicators For Very Safe Systems? 
    Brooker, Peter (Cambridge University Press, 2007)
    European Air Traffic Management is extremely safe. The drawback to this safety record is that it is very difficult to estimate what the ‘underlying’ accident rate for mid-air collisions is now, or to detect any changes ...
  • Aviation and Climate Change: I - UK Airport CO2 Emissions. 
    Brooker, Peter (UK & International Press, 2009)
    Aviation’s contribution to climate change is now a topic of considerable interest. This paper summarises some key facts on airport CO2 emissions, and highlights some policy implications.
  • Aviation and Climate Change: II – Air Traffic Management and Aviation Non-CO2 Issues. 
    Brooker, Peter (UK & International Press, 2009)
    Action on climate change is now the subject of worldwide and European legislation. The following explores some of the issues raised for air traffic management (ATM) and aviation ‘Non-CO2 ’ Issues. A key aim is to examine ...
  • Civil Aircraft Design Priorities: Air Quality? Climate Change? Noise? 
    Brooker, Peter (Royal Aeronautical Society, 2006-08-01)
    A variety of related questions is posed. Are the right priorities for future aircraft design being set now? New civil aircraft types could be ‘silent’, ie make much less noise than current types. They could be ‘green’, ie ...
  • Controller workload, airspace capacity and future systems 
    Brooker, Peter (Ashgate Publishing, 2003)
    In air traffic control (ATC), controller workload – or controller mental workload – is an extremely important topic. There have been many research studies, reports and reviews on workload (as it will be referred to here). ...
  • The European single sky needs high quality, simple incident reporting. 
    Brooker, Peter (UKIP Media and Events, 2006-08)
    The focus here is on mid-air collisions for aircraft under air traffic control (ATC), but recognising that (eg) accidents on runways and taxiways can be equally catastrophic. How can Europe know if safety levels are ...
  • Finding a good aircraft noise annoyance curve. 
    Brooker, Peter (Institute of Acoustics, 2008-07)
    The aim has been to find a good aircraft noise annoyance Dose-Response curve, using practical and robust techniques with the minimum of modelling assumptions. Several socio-economic/industrial and airport operation ...
  • Future air traffic management systems and rational actors 
    Brooker, Peter (Cranfield University, 2005-07-11)
  • Future airport expansion at Stansted , Heathrow and Gatwick: Statistics and methodology 
    Brooker, Peter (Institute of Acoustics, 2004)
    Chapter 11 of the Government White Paper 1, the Future of Air Transport, covers the South East of England, and Chapter 11 of the same document discusses Environmental Impacts. The major potential development options ...
  • If high aircraft noise exposure increases heart attack risks, what do we do about it? 
    Brooker, Peter (Institute of Acoustics, 2006)
    Is high aircraft noise exposure actually dangerous to people’s health? Is there a good way of identifying ‘significant danger’? What are the policy implications for government and airport operators of people being exposed ...
  • Is it Safe for Me to Fly? 
    Brooker, Peter (Royal Statistical Society, 2008-09)
    ‘Is it Safe for Me to Fly’ seems like a simple question. But who is Me, what is Safe, and why is there a reason for focusing on Fly? Is the underlying question: ‘Are the people responsible doing everything they should ...
  • Longitudinal collision risk for ATC track systems: a hazardous event model 
    Brooker, Peter (Cambridge University Press, 2006)
    This paper presents a collision risk model and operational concepts for longitudinal separated aircraft in the North Atlantic Region air traffic control track system, and indicates how it might be used to reduce separation ...
  • Reducing mid-air collision risk in controlled airspace: lessons from hazardous incidents 
    Brooker, Peter (Elsevier, 2005-11)
    The collection and analysis data on hazardous air traffic management (ATM) incidents is an important task. Expert judgement about such incidents needs to be carried out within a systematic and consistent safety framework. ...
  • Sesar's ATM Target Concept: Keys to sucess. 
    Brooker, Peter (2008-01)
    There is often a right time to do things. In the 1570s, Martin Frobisher abandoned his efforts to find the Northwest Passage, but the attempt might well have been successful today. The nature of a problem and the technical ...
  • SESAR: Getting Good Value for Airlines. 
    Brooker, Peter (2008-10)
