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 ...
Measurements of rotor stalling in a matched and a mismatched multistage compressor
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1995], 1995)
This paper presents the results from a set of experiments on stall inception in multistage axial flow compressors. The experiments were tailored to investigate phenomena having a wide range of time and length scales. This ...
Airline overbooking performance measurement
([Cambridge, MA : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
Since the "product" of an airline cannot be stored, the value of every seat which is left empty upon departure is lost forever or "spoiled". In order to compensate for the economic effects of passengers holding a confirmed ...
Competitive behavior of airlines at multiple airport systems
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
The way passenger traffic is distributed at multiple airport systems continues to intrigue air transportation planners, urban planners, and policy-makers as researchers attempt to unravel how airlines, air travelers and ...
Creating new operational concepts for global automated ATM systems
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
With the availability of new CNS technologies (Communications, Navigation and Guidance, Surveillance) as described by the ICAO FANS agreement and the potential of new tools for Automation at the ATC controller's console, ...
A recommended course of action for upgrading Garduda Operations Control Systems
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1995], 1995)
Introduction: The purpose of this document is to construct a recommended course of action in the next year for Garuda Operations Control in its efforts to upgrade its information systems technology. The process of installing ...
The processes of airline operational control
([Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
The airline industry has undergone many drastic changes in the way operations are conducted since the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. The Federal Aviation Administration of the Department of Transportation, however, has ...
Presentations from the 1995 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting.
