Recent experimental analysis has shown that some types of urban networks exhibit a low scatter reproducible relationship between average network flow and density, known as the macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD). It has also been shown that heterogeneity in the spatial distribution of density...

Different than the conventional queueing systems, in spatial queueing systems (SQS) the service rate for each customer-server pairs differs and the server that intervenes for a specific customer is not known a priori, depending on the availability of servers at the moment a request was made....

Slot allocation is widely used to tackle capacity shortfalls and manage delays in air traffic and airports. A variety of instruments are used, but little analysis has been conducted looking at the synergies that exist when these tools are integrated to form an overall slot allocation strategy....

Current models for airport terminal performance assessment require substantial modeling effort to be customized to the configuration of a particular airport terminal and to reflect adequately the alternative airport operational policies adopted in a user-friendly way. Therefore, there is a need...

The increasing imbalance between airport capacity and traffic resulted in exceptional congestion and delays drawing the attention of aviation policy makers towards airport demand management for the allocation of scarce airport slots. Attempts to bring forward airport demand management measures...

Multi-criteria routing and scheduling in a multimodal fixed scheduled network with time-dependent travel times involves the determination of the non-dominated itineraries (i.e., paths enhanced with scheduled departures) under the following constraints: (i) visiting a given set of intermediate...

Since well-publicized congestion and delay problems encountered by European and US airports entered the political arena, there is an unprecedented pressure experienced by policy makers upon investigating and adopting strategies for managing demand and allocating scarce airport capacity. During...

The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for improving the performance of a port system by reallocating the demand for port services amongst the ports. To achieve this objective a mixed integer programming model that minimizes the total transportation cost is developed. The total...
