The development of an operational game for the U.S. domestic airline industry
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
Introduction: The use of computer simulations to analyze large complex systems is now a well-established technique. By combining detailed numerical models of each component of the system, the behavior of the entire system ...
A computer simulation of Tampa International Airport's landside terminal and shuttles
(Cambridge : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1976, 1976)
TOPSIM, a terminal simulation package developed at M.I.T., was used to simulate Tampa's landside terminal and to study its capacity-congestion characteristics as traffic levels increase. Tampa has no congestion problems ...
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 ...
Review and evaluation of national airspace system models
(Cambridge, MA : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; 1979, 1979)
Abstract from Technical Report Documentation Page: This report is intended to serve as a guide to the availability and capability of state-of-the-art analytical and simulation models of the National Airspace System (NAS). ...
Demand models for U.S. domestic air passenger markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1978, 1978)
The airline industry in recent years has suffered from the adverse effects of top level planning decisions based upon inaccurate demand forecasts. The air carriers have recognized the immediate need to develop their ...
Vehicle routing and scheduling for the ultra short haul transportation system
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1979, 1979)
A method of vehicle routing and scheduling for an air based intraurban transportation system is developed. The maximization of level of service to passengers in a system operating under time varying demand is considered ...
The dynamic scheduling of aircraft in the near terminal area
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)
Aircraft arrive in a random fashion into a terminal area seeking to land at a given runway. The aircraft are differentiated by their landing velocities. All aircraft are required to maintain a prespecified minimum horizontal ...
An advanced time-dependent queueing model for airport delay analysis
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
Introduction: In the past several years many attempts have been made to model the probabilistic nature of airport runway operations using a queueing-theoretic approach to runway modeling. Early studies were limited by ...

Introduction: The use of computer simulations to analyze large complex systems is now a well-established technique. By combining detailed numerical models of each component of the system, the behavior of the entire system ...
Modeling of wind and radar for simulation in four-dimensional navigation environment
(Cambridge : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, [1976], 1976)
Disturbances affecting time control precision in four-dimension navigation are modeled. Several models of wind and turbulence from the ground to ten thousand feet are developed. A distinction is made between wind mean and ...
