Factors affecting public support of transportation policies : using an international survey and hybrid discrete choice modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
What transportation policies do people support? What factors affect people's policy support? Detangling people's support of transportation policies is a way to understand public needs, to understand how the public evaluates ...
Calibrating activity-based travel demand model system via microsimulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
This thesis addresses the problem of calibrating activity-based travel demand model systems. After estimation, it is common practice to use aggregate measurements to calibrate the estimated model system's parameters. ...
Airline revenue management for continuous pricing : class-based and classless methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The development of the New Distribution Capability for airlines has raised interest within the airline industry in "continuous pricing", where fares offered to customers are not limited to a set of pre-determined price ...
Impact of Japanese high-speed rail extension on aviation : a case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Since the 1964 introduction of high-speed rail in Japan, intercity transportation has largely been provided by high-speed rail and aviation. As new lines have been added to the high-speed rail network-further enhancing ...
Analysis of airside operations at Singapore Changi Airport
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Air travel demand has been on an upward trend in recent years, and airports have thus become increasingly congested. To alleviate airport congestion, building new infrastructure such as runways to improve capacity is an ...
Characterization and short term forecasting of the US long haul truckload spot market
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Accurate forecasting of transportation costs is a key step in logistical planning. It helps buyers and sellers of transportation services make better decisions at all stages of a supply chain, thus creating a significant ...
A Petri Net framework for the representation and analysis of aircraft turnaround operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Aircraft turnaround operations is a key determinant of both airline and airport performance. Airlines incur both direct and indirect costs from poor on-time departure performance, particularly when these delays propagate ...
Estimating the impacts of route changes for Chicago's rapid transit system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The Chicago Transit Authority is the second largest transit agency in the US, and the CTA's rail transit division currently serves nearly half of the rides in the system. The system is adaptable to changes in population ...
Reinterpreting vehicle ownership in the era of shared and smart mobility
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Emerging transportation technologies like autonomous vehicles and services like on-demand shared mobility are casting their shadows over the traditional paradigm of vehicle ownership. Several countries are witnessing ...
Future transit service for a broader user base : demand analysis of hypothetical autonomous vehicle mobility services using a stated preference approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Mobility services and autonomous vehicles (AVs) are predicted to be key revolutionary forces in the future of transportation. In particular, certain forms of the amalgamations of the two technologies not only are expected ...
