We propose a model where two competitors, a Leader and a Follower, are sequentially creating their hub and spoke networks and setting prices. The existence of the unique Stackelberg and Nash pricing equilibria is shown. On the basis of these results we give the conclusion about existence of the profit maximising solution for the Leader.

We propose recommendations on how to improve healthcare management by utilizing the XML Web services, which enhance the quality and promote the efficiency of healthcare and medical services with a citizen-centric, patientoriented approach.

The aviation industry has set an ambitious goal of reducing its climate impacts. Accordingly, airlines must balance their plans according to this with financial considerations. We developed a multi-objective framework facilitate climate-aware network design by incorporating the objective minimise flight average temperature response (ATR) when optimising airline network. also assessed operationa...

Through observations from real life hub networks, we introduce the multimodal hub location and hub network design problem. We approach the hub location problem from a network design perspective. In hub network design problem, we jointly consider transportation costs and travel times, which are studied separately in most hub location problems presented in the literature. We allow different trans...

Six principles for operation of the rail part of intermodal rail freight transport systems are described: direct link, corridor, hub-and-spoke, connected hubs, static routes, and dynamic routes. The first part is a theoretical discussion of the characteristics of the transport network designs. The theory is then applied to intermodal freight transport by analysing how each transport network des...

in this paper, we study the problem of integrated capacitated hub location problem and seat inventory control considering concept and techniques of revenue management. we consider an airline company maximizes its revenue by utilizing the best network topology and providing proper booking limits for all itineraries and fare classes. the transportation system arises in the form of a star/star net...
