A scheduling model for the aerial relay system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory ; 1979, 1979)
Introduction: The growth of air travel in the United States during the last 40 years has been caused by a fusion of technology and economics. Aircraft design improvements, resulting-in higher speed and larger size, have ...
A systems analysis of scheduled air transportation networks
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
This work establishes the conditions for airline system design building from submodels of smaller aspects of air transportation. The first three sections develop submodels which then are combined in extensive numerical ...
International civil air transport : transition following WW II
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1979, 1979)
International air transport, like many 20th Century marvels which are taken so much for granted today, broke out from its cocoon, so to speak, shortly after the end of World War II (WW II), took wing, and soared. Theretofore, ...
Some observations on the first half year of passenger deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1979, 1979)
This report is the text of a seminar given by Mr. Brenner for the course "Air Transportation -- Economics, Management and Planning." The course was presented by MIT's Flight Transportation Laboratory in cooperation with ...
Toward the definition and measurement of the mental workload of transport pilots
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
This report describes work performed in the first year of a continuing research project aimed at developing useful methods for measuring the workload of pilots operating aircraft in the ATC system. Good methods of measuring ...
User charges in international air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
The charges dealt with here are those paid by international airline operators for the use of airports and airways. At airports, there are charges for landings and takeoffs and various fees or rentals for other facilities ...
The development of an operational game for the U.S. domestic airline industry
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
Introduction: The use of computer simulations to analyze large complex systems is now a well-established technique. By combining detailed numerical models of each component of the system, the behavior of the entire system ...
Effect of fare and travel time on the demand for domestic air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory ; [1979], 1979)
Introduction: One of the axioms in the air transportation industry is that advances in technology have led to a greater amount of passenger travel by air. Improvements in airframe and engine design have increased range, ...
Review and evaluation of national airspace system models
(Cambridge, MA : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; 1979, 1979)
Abstract from Technical Report Documentation Page: This report is intended to serve as a guide to the availability and capability of state-of-the-art analytical and simulation models of the National Airspace System (NAS). ...
Vehicle routing and scheduling for the ultra short haul transportation system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1979, 1979)
A method of vehicle routing and scheduling for an air based intraurban transportation system is developed. The maximization of level of service to passengers in a system operating under time varying demand is considered ...
