Evaluation of forecasting techniques for short-term demand of air transportation
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
Forecasting is arguably the most critical component of airline management. Essentially, airlines forecast demand to plan the supply of services to respond to that demand. Forecasts of short-term demand facilitate tactical ...
Revenue impacts of airline yield management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1992], 1992)
In the highly competitive airline industry today, Yield or Revenue Management is extremely important to the survival of any carrier. Since fares are generally matched by all carriers to be competitive, the ability of an ...
Airline competition analysis
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to investigate how airlines share the passengers, attracted to air transportation. The percentage of these passengers, that one airline will carry in any given market, where it ...
A simulation of aircraft motion on the airport surface
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
This paper describes the design and implementation of a real-time simulation of aircraft motion on the ground at airports. The aircraft Ground Motion Simulator (GMS) is designed to realistically simulate tower, ground, and ...
Assessment of the potential diversion of air passengers to high-speed rail in the northeast corridor
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
The high level of intercity passenger travel in the Northeast Corridor is supported by densely populated metropolitan city-centers, the suitable distance between the urban areas, and the extent to which economic and social ...
A systems analysis of short haul air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1965], 1965)
A systems analysis of short haul air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1965], 1965)
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 ...
Solving the schedule transition problem using optimization techniques
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1988], 1988)
A new algorithm is introduced for effectively solving the airline schedule transition problem, which involves efficiently re-routing aircraft in order to balance the number and the types of aircraft at each station at the ...
New directions for forecasting air travel passenger demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974, 1974)
While few will disagree that sound forecasts are an essential prerequisite to rational transportation planning and analysis, the making of these forecasts has become a complex problem with the broadening of the scope and ...
