Marginal social cost auctions for congested airport facilities
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
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. ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Algorithms for routing problems in stochastic time-dependent networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Estimating the true extent of air traffic delays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Most air traffic delay measures assess delays relative to schedule. Over the past decades, however, airline schedules have been adjusted to take into account airspace congestion and yield better on-time performance. In ...
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 ...
