Effect of fare and travel time on the demand for domestic air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory ; [1979], 1979)Introduction: One of the axioms in the air transportation industry is that advances in technology have led to a greater amount of passenger travel by air. Improvements in airframe and engine design have increased range, ... -
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 ... -
Flight test and evaluation of Omega navigation for general aviation
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology [Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1975], 1975)A seventy hour flight test program was accomplished to determine the suitability and accuracy of a low cost Omega navigation receiver in a general aviation aircraft. An analysis was made of signal availability in two widely ... -
Freight mode choice : air transport versus ocean transport in the 1990's
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)Value density is often considered when considering the choice whether to ship cargo by air or by water. However, although cargo value is directly linked to the overall cost of shipment, it is the deciding factor in mode ... -
The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for air passenger transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for domestic air passenger transportation is tested in a demand model using time-series data and linear and non-linear least squares regressions with Revenue Passenger Miles ... -
Impact of videoconferencing on the demand for air travel
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1995, 1995)Videoconferencing is widely seen as the form of modern telecommunications having the largest potential to impact the growth of business air travel demand. Most existing studies focus on the substitutional effect of enhanced ... -
Intermodal air-surface movement of cargo John H. Mahoney.
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)Someone who told me he was a friend asked me to talk to you about "any single important aspect of air cargo" and the booby trap I suddenly stumbled into was the difficulty of sticking to a single subject from the many ... -
International civil air transport : transition following WW II
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1979, 1979)International air transport, like many 20th Century marvels which are taken so much for granted today, broke out from its cocoon, so to speak, shortly after the end of World War II (WW II), took wing, and soared. Theretofore, ... -
Leg-based heuristic methods to network seat inventory control
([Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1994, c1994)Driving the development of increasingly sophisticated methods of seat inventory control are the complex fare and route structures evident in airline operations today. Most control methods are currently based on an individual ... -
Maintenance cost studies of present aircraft subsystems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1966], 1966)This report describes two detailed studies of actual maintenance costs for present transport aircraft. The first part describes maintenance costs for jet transport aircraft broken down into subsystem costs according to an ... -
The marketing of international air transportation in the USA
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)Introduction: I am very honoured to have been invited to talk to you today at such a distinguished place of learning as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I understand that you have already had talks from several ... -
A method for determination of optimum vehicle size and frequency of service for a short haul V/STOL air transport system
(Cambridge, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)To compete successfully in short haul markets under 200 miles, an air transport system must offer a high daily frequency of service, N, as well as short air travel times. In a given market, N can be increased by using ... -
A methodology for determining the relationship between air transportation demand and the level of service
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)Introduction: Within the last ten years significant advances in the state-of-the art in air travel demand analysis stimulated researchers in the domestic air transportation field. Among these advances, researchers in ... -
A model for forecasting future air travel demand on the North Atlantic
(Cambridge, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1971], 1971)Introduction: One of the key problems in the analysis and planning of any transport properties and facilities is estimating the future volume of traffic that may be expected to use these properties and facilities. Estimates ... -
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 ... -
Pilot workload in the air transport environment : measurement, theory, and the influence of air traffic control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)The operating environment of an air transport crew is characterized by multiple interrupting tasks, these tasks being composed of a mixture of purely physical control and purely mental planning processes. Measurement of ... -
