(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1981], 1981)Introduction: The adequacy of air transportation in New England has been the subject of intermittent debate-over the last twenty years-, culminating in the Civil Aeronautics Board's 1970-1974 "New England Service Investigation" ... -
A comparative analysis of area navigation systems for general aviation
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1973], 1973)Within the next decade area navigation is to become the primary method of air navigation within the United States. There are numerous radio navigation systems that offer the capabilities of area navigation to general ... -
Comparison of optimization techniques for origin-destination seat inventory control
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1988], 1988)Airlines have recently realized the importance of an effective seat inventory control system on revenues and profits. Yet, at the same time, there is a lack of practical optimization models for determining the number of ... -
Competition between traditional and low-cost airlines for local hub traffic
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)It is conventional wisdom among informed observers of the U.S. airline industry that the passengers who fly full-service, hub-and-spoke-style, "traditional" airlines like American, United and Delta are significantly different ... -
Competitive behavior of airlines at multiple airport systems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)The way passenger traffic is distributed at multiple airport systems continues to intrigue air transportation planners, urban planners, and policy-makers as researchers attempt to unravel how airlines, air travelers and ... -
Competitive impacts of yield management system components : forecasting and sell-up models
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)The focus of revenue management research efforts has historically been on the development of seat optimizers which find revenue maximizing booking limits by fare class in a nested fare class structure. Significantly less ... -
A comprehensive assessment of air transportation in Mainland China
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)This study attempts to obtain an overall picture of air transportation in Mainland China, domestic and international, past and present, so as to lay the ground for further studies. A brief history of early aviation development ... -
Computer program development specification for the air traffic control subsystem of the Man-Vehicle Systems Research Facility.
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)Functional summary: The Air Traffic Control (ATC) Subsystem of the Man-Vehicle System Research Facility (MVSRF) is a hardware/software complex which provides the MVSRF with the capability of simulating the multi-aircraft, ... -
A computer simulation of Tampa International Airport's landside terminal and shuttles
(Cambridge : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1976, 1976)TOPSIM, a terminal simulation package developed at M.I.T., was used to simulate Tampa's landside terminal and to study its capacity-congestion characteristics as traffic levels increase. Tampa has no congestion problems ... -
Computerized schedule construction for an airbus transportation system
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)As part of a continuing study of the application of V/STOL aircraft to the transportation problems of the Northeast Corridor, the U.S. Department of Commerce has requested that detailed data be developed on schedules, ... -
Concentration in U.S. air transportation : an analysis of origin-destination markets since deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)The thesis examined the effects on competition of deregulation in the airline industry by analyzing changes in concentration over the ten-year period 1979-1989 in two sets of origin-destination city-pair markets: the top ... -
Concept development and evaluation of airborne traffic displays
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory [1971], 1971)A system concept for a cockpit traffic situation display (TSD) was developed and a preliminary evaluation was undertaken to investigate the effect of a TSD on safety, efficiency, and capacity in the 3rd generation NAS/ARTS ... -
