Seat allocation for massive events based on region growing techniques

چکیده
Massive events, as sportive events, involves a huge amount of spectators. Citizens that wish to attend buy a ticket that allzows them to seat in a given zone of the stadium with several features, but usually they do not buy the physical seat at the sport ground. Then, one of the duties of the organizing committees is to allocate the different localities of the enclosure to the persons that have bought tickets. In the seat allocation process, the ticket category, groups, ranks, distribution rules and many other factors should be taken into account. In this paper we present a method in order to support the seat allocation process based on a region growing technique inherited from the Computer Vision field, with which a first candidate to the solution is obtained. Then, with a local search method, the solution is improved. The experimental results have been tested with the data of the 2003 Grand Prix Racing (F1).

متن کاملAIRLINE STOCHASTIC CAPACITY ALLOCATION BY APPLYING REVENUE MANAGEMENT
To formulate a single-leg seat inventory control problem in an airline ticket sales system, the concept and techniques of revenue management are applied in this research. In this model, it is assumed the cabin capacity is stochastic and hence its exact size cannot be forecasted in advance, at the time of planning. There are two groups of early-reserving and late-purchasing customers demanding t...
متن کاملRevenue Management Without Forecasting or Optimization: An Adaptive Algorithm for Determining Airline Seat Protection Levels
We investigate a simple adaptive approach to optimizing seat protection levels in airline revenue management systems. The approach uses only historical observations of the relative frequencies of certain seat-filling events to guide direct adjustments of the seat protection levels in accordance with the optimality conditions of Brumelle and McGill (1993). Stochastic approximation theory is used...
متن کاملPerformance-Based Resource Allocation in Higher Education: A Black Box Containing the Paradox of Increasing Efficiency and Decreasing Productivity
To cope with escalating financial resource limitations from both expanding demands for higher education and experiencing a relatively reduction in public support, higher education units have profoundly adopted a performance-based resource allocation mechanism in recent years. Nevertheless, empirical evaluation findings show that the presumed improvement in performance has not been fulfilled. Us...
متن کاملA Case-Based Seat Allocation System for Airline Revenue Management
Airline companies usually implement revenue management to increase profits. The revenue management can be performed through seat inventory management. The current system to book seats is first-come first-served. This approach tends to sell low-price seats because low-price requests often appear earlier. It also results in low revenue. In this paper, an expected dynamic probability method and a ...
