A Delphi panel of aviation experts is used to anticipate probable and wildcard scenarios on the future of aviation in 2025. According to the experts’ estimations, the passenger, business aviation, and air cargo segments will be faced with 27 probable high-impact developments. These include long-haul growth primarily linked to emerging countries, a number of substitution threats, liberalization ...

Abstract This study has two main objectives: (i) to analyse the effect of travel characteristics on spreading disease, and (ii) determine COVID-19 behaviour at individual level. First, analyses passenger volume proportions different modes spread in early stage. The developed spatial autoregressive model shows that total air railway volumes are positively associated with cumulative confirmed cas...

In the month following the terrorist attacks of September 11, domestic air travel in the United States dropped more than 30% relative to the same period the previous year. More than six months later, revenue passenger miles remain more than 10% below what they were last Spring (Air Transport Association, March 6, 2002). Such reluctance to fly has obviously contributed to the recent recession in...

One of the main concerns of all industries such as mine industries is to increase their profit and keep their customers through improving quality level of their products; but increasing the quality of products usually releases air pollutants. Nowadays the management of air pollutant emissions with harmful environmental and health effects is one of the most pressing problems. In this paper, auth...

The purpose of the Air Transportation System (ATS) is to provide safe and efficient transportation of passengers and cargo. The on-time performance of the ATS is measured by flight-based metrics such as flight delays and flight cancellations. Researchers have shown that flight-based metrics do not accurately reflect the passenger trip experience, and especially underestimate the impacts of canc...

A theory is provided for the problem of passenger waiting and route choice at a transit station where a set of lines serviced by vehicles of limited capacity are available to reach a given destination. It is assumed that the platform layout involves one boarding zone only. The theory addresses waiting discipline – either priority queuing or mingled waiting – and choice behaviour – either selfis...

OBJECTIVE Describe the risk behaviour relationships with road safety in adolescents. DESIGN Cross-sectional descriptive study. SETTING Madrid and Andalusia Regions, representative samples. PARTICIPANTS The sample included 3,612 in secondary school pupils from Madrid (n=1708) and Andalusia (n=1904). The survey was carried out during May and June 2007. MAIN MEASUREMENTS The data collected...

Ridesharing is a shared mobility service in which passengers and drivers with similar origins destinations are matched to travel the same vehicle. This utilises unused seats vehicles multi-passenger rides reduce cost of travel. To promote ridesharing, both providers policymakers should carefully analyse passenger adoption behaviour support future decision-making planning. In this paper, 80 stud...

In order to explore the impacts of various factors on air route connection, a probability model is constructed to simulate the Chinese airline network (CAN) in 2010, and the influences of tertiary industry output, degree and the spatial distance between two navigable cities on the analog results are discussed. Our research shows that, the opening of an air route is not completely determined by ...
