The Intercity Transportation Effectiveness Model approximates the mix of aircraft, routes, schedules, and terminal facilities that satisfy intercity air-carrier passenger and cargo demand at minimum social (time) and economic cost. The model is capable of providing demand forecasts and evaluating the associated impacts on required facilities; of evaluating alternative fleet mixesterminal facilities, and/or network configurations; and of comparing results obtained under certain assumptions of maximization of profit or minimization of social costs. The model comprises a set of integrated computer modules including: a Passenger and Cargo Demand Module, a Route Module, a Network Assignment Module, and a Timetable Building Module. The heart of the system, the Daily Traffic Assignment Model, is a decomposed linear program in which a unique method is used to solve the subproblem in greatly reduced running time. The model is useful in solving problems involving such issues as airline mergers, route awards, new terminals, traffic congestion, and new aircraft technology. It has been applied successfully to real-world airline networks. (Author)
