A passenger demand model for air transportation in a hub-and-spoke network
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops an air passenger model that deals with city-pair demand generation and demand assignment in a single framework. Using publicly available and regularly collected panel data, the model captures both time series and cross-sectional variation of air travel demand. The empirical analysis finds that pattern of correlations among alternatives can be described by a three-level nested logit model. Fare, frequency, flight time, direct routing, on-time performance, income, and market distance have significantly effects on air demand. Correcting for the problem of endogenous air fares using instrumental variables yields more plausible estimates of price sensitivity and value of time. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Developing Passenger Hub Location Problem Based on Origin-Destination Trips Derived by Gravity Model (Case Study of Iran's Rail Network)
Iran’s geographical situation, in particular long-distance routes, makes rail transportation to be more attractive and important than the other modes. Since transport cost is the main concern for local and national authorities, Hub location is an important problem in transport planning in which transport industries are looking for selected points to change trains for passengers. In this pap...
متن کاملA Multi-Level Capacity Approach to the Hub and Spoke Network
The existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. Although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...
متن کاملA Hybrid Solution Method for Hub-and-Spoke Network Design under Uncertainty
Supply chain is an integrated system of facilities and activities. Gaining the optimum design of demand satisfaction network is one of the most important live issues in the decision making problems category. Most of previous studies considered unreal assumptions such as the lack of capacity constraints to satisfy demand in the network and in hubs. By considering the nature of the case that have...
متن کاملDesign of a Bi-Objective Capacitated Single-Allocation Incomplete Hub Network Considering an Elastic Demand
This paper presents a bi-objective capacitated hub arc location problem with single assignment for designing a metro network with an elastic demand. In the literature, it is widely supposed that the network created with the hub nodes is complete. In this paper, this assumption is relaxed. Moreover, in most hub location problems, the demand is assumed to be static and independent of the location...
متن کاملHub-Spoke Network Choice Under Competition with an Application to Western Europe
T aim of this paper is to present a model structure that analyzes the hub-spoke network design issue within a competitive framework. Under deregulation, airlines have developed hub-and-spoke networks, enabling them to increase frequency by aggregating demand and to prevent entry into the marketplace by reducing airfares. While liberalization in the United States and Europe was undertaken to inc...
