Do European Carriers dominate their Hubs?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the phenomenon of hub dominance by developing a model relating fares to distance, using the main leg of intercontinental flights for scaling purposes. Our results indicate that at least some of the major European carriers place a mark up on flights originating from or going to their hubs.

A genetic algorithm for the problem of configuring a hub-and-spoke network for a LTL trucking company in Brazil
A heuristic based on genetic algorithms is proposed to the problem of configuring hub-and-spoke networks for trucking companies that operate less-than-truckload (LTL) services in Brazil. The problem consists of determining the number of consolidation terminals (also known as hubs), their locations and the assignment of the spokes to the hubs, aiming to minimize the total cost, which is composed...

In this paper, a bi-level optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal strategy of energy retailer in integrated energy market using smart energy hub concept. In the upper level problem, the energy retailer determines the price of energy carriers and the purchase amount from the wholesale market aiming to maximize his own profit. The consumers decide on their purchase amount of energy...
متن کاملRevisiting Date and Party Hubs: Novel Approaches to Role Assignment in Protein Interaction Networks
The idea of "date" and "party" hubs has been influential in the study of protein-protein interaction networks. Date hubs display low co-expression with their partners, whilst party hubs have high co-expression. It was proposed that party hubs are local coordinators whereas date hubs are global connectors. Here, we show that the reported importance of date hubs to network connectivity can in fac...
متن کاملDistributed Control Applied to Multi-Energy Generation Portfolios
In 2004 the Power Systems and High Voltage Laboratories at ETH initiated the research project ”Vision of Future Energy Networks” (VoFEN), which applies a greenfield approach to the design of future energy systems. The main aspect of the project is the consideration of multiple energy carriers, i.e. the analysis is not restricted to electricity but also considers other energy carriers such as na...
