Incremental airline schedule design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
We consider the problem of integrating flight schedule design and fleet assignment decisions at airlines. The flight schedule design problem involves selecting and scheduling the set of flight legs that an airline will ...
Algorithms for routing problems in stochastic time-dependent networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
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 ...
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. ...
Marginal social cost auctions for congested airport facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Real-time Multi-period truckload routing problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
In this thesis we consider a multi-period truckload pick-up and delivery problem dealing with real-time requests over a finite time horizon. We introduce the notion of postponement of requests, whereby the company can ...
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 ...
Design of large scale transportation service networks with consolidation : models, algorithms and applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
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. ...
