Airline reservations forecasting : probabilistic and statistical models of the booking process
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1990], 1990)In this thesis, we develop the necessary statistical framework to produce accurate forecasts of total bookings in a particular fare class on a specific flight number departing on a given date at various points before ... -
The choice of V/STOL transportation for the Northeast Corridor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1972], 1972)Aircraft type, aircraft size, number of terminals, and degree of nonstop routing for a V/STOL transportation system in the Northeast Corridor are chosen by exploring a wide range of combinations. Helicopter and STOL aircraft ... -
Concepts studies for future intracity air transportation systems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept, of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1970], 1970)Summary: This report is concerned with describing the possible application of future air transportation systems within urban areas of the United States. The planning horizon extends to 1995 and the report focuses on the ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Interactive dynamic aircraft scheduling and fleet routing with the out-of-kilter algorithm
([Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)A decision support system is introduced that automates dynamic aircraft scheduling and fleet routing. Interactive graphics-based schedule construction and modification tools automate the dynamic scheduling of aircraft of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Modeling airline group passenger demand for revenue optimization
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1991], 1991)Many airlines currently use a variety of analytic techniques for seat inventory control as part of a larger revenue or "yield" management system. However, much of the this effort has emphasized decisions based on 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 ... -
Predicting the impact of new technology aircraft on international air transportation demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; [1981], 1981)Introduction: A desire to see new places, meet different people, and perhaps conduct some business on the side has been an enduring feature of civilization. However, international travel remained largely the province of ... -
Proceedings of the Workshop : Air transportation Demand and System Analysis.
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975) -
The state-of-the-art in air transportation demand and systems analysis : a report on the proceedings of a workshop sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Board, Department of Transportation, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (June 1975)
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975, 1975)Introduction and summary: Forecasting air transportation demand has indeed become a complex and risky business in recent years, especially in view of unpredictable fuel prices, high inflation rates, a declining rate of ...
