Routing in probabilistic networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
This thesis considers tlhe problem of routing in a network where the travel times along the arcs are modeled as independent random variables. A standard approach to routing in such networks is to select a path with the ...
Marginal social cost auctions for congested airport facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Modeling preferences for innovative modes and services : a case study in Lisbon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Increases in car ownership and usage have resulted in serious traffic congestion problems in many large cities worldwide. Innovative travel modes and services can play an important role in improving the efficiency and ...
Optimization of yard operations in maritime container terminals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
With the continuous growth in international container shipping, many container terminals in maritime ports face congestion, particularly during peak hours of service, and when there is limited space in the storage area. ...
Robust airline schedule planning : review and development of optimization approaches
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Major airlines aim to generate schedules that maximize profit potential and satisfy constraints involving flight schedule design, fleet assignment, aircraft maintenance routing and crew scheduling. Almost all aircraft and ...
Performance of Dynamic Programming methods in airline Revenue Management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis evaluates the performance of Dynamic Programming (DP) models as applied to airline Revenue Management (RM) compared to traditional Revenue Management models like EMSRb as DP models offer a theoretically attractive ...
Routing and scheduling models for robust allocation of slack
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
A myriad of uncontrollable factors in airline operations make delays and disruptions unavoidable. Most conventional scheduling models, however, ignore the presence of uncertainties in actual operations in order to limit ...
Harmonization of aviation user charges in the North Atlantic airspace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore various harmonization scenarios for North Atlantic en route user charges. The current charging system involves eight countries, each with their own method for computing user charges. ...
Automatic data for applied railway management : passenger demand, service quality measurement, and tactical planning on the London Overground Network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
The broad goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the potential positive impacts of applying automatic data to the management and tactical planning of a modern urban railway. Tactical planning is taken here to mean the set ...
Calibration of dynamic traffic assignment models with point-to-point traffic surveillance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Accurate calibration of demand and supply simulators within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system is critical for the provision of consistent travel information and efficient traffic management. Emerging traffic ...
