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 ...
Approximating the performance of a last mile transportation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The Last Mile Problem (LMP) refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to a home or office. We study the supply side of this problem in a stochastic setting, with batch demands ...
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. ...
Benefits of emerging transportation technologies : simulation analysis and policy issues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
This thesis explores the quantification of transportation technology benefits, through simultaneous consideration of technical and policy issues. Benefits are first defined and identified based on current literature and ...
Integrated optimization model for airline schedule design : profit maximization and issues of access for small markets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The purpose of the National Airspace System Strategy Simulator is to provide the FAA with a decision support system to evaluate long-term infrastructure and regulatory strategies. The NAS strategy simulator consists of ...
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 ...
