Inverse Problems, Design and Optimization Symposium Miami, Florida, U.S.A., April 16-18,2007 ABSTRACTIn this communication is considered the problem of long term forecasting of the traffic growth in a large air transportation network. This problem is crucial when planning the necessary investments in airports, fleets and air traffic control equipments. The proposed approach makes use of two different optimization models: One model is devoted to demand forecasting, the other one defines the air transport supply according with a profit maximization behavior for the airlines sector. A proposed solution scheme is composed of an iterative process between the current solutions of the demand and the supply optimization problems. Convergence conditions are discussed for this iterative process between these two problems which can be seen as inverse of each other. The proposed optimization approach is briefly illustrated in the case of the long term forecasting of air traffic in the west African region. INTRODUCTIONIn this communication is considered the problem of long term forecasting of the traffic growth in a large air transportation network. This problem is crucial when planning the necessary investments in airports, fleets and air traffic control resources. One of the main difficulty of this task is related with the estimation of future demand over the network which
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
