The invention relates to the field of engineering detection, in particular to a method for testing wheel marks in an airport. The method for testing the wheel marks in the airport comprises the following steps that two or more laser wheel mark distance measuring sensors are arranged on one side of a runway; a laser aircraft type distance measuring sensor is arranged on one side of the runway; when an aircraft passes through the runway, the distances between the outer side of the front wheel of the aircraft and the distance measuring sensors and between the outer sides of the rear wheels of the aircraft and the distance measuring sensors are measured through the laser aircraft type distance measuring sensor and the laser wheel mark distance measuring sensors; the type of the aircraft and the wheel marks of the aircraft are judged according to data of the distance measuring sensors. According to the method for testing the wheel marks in the airport, the distances between the rubber outer sides of the wheels of the aircraft and laser distance measuring instruments are measured by laser distance measuring devices when the aircraft passes through the cross section where the laser distance measuring instruments are located during taking off and landing, in this way, a method for testing the transverse distribution of the wheel marks in the airport is provided, and the precondition for filling up the study blank in the field of transverse distribution of the wheel marks in the airport is provided.
