Seeking Better Solutions In Multi-Modal Transportation: A Study of On-Demand Air Service (ODAS) Dan DeLaurentis, Aditya Joshi, and Kyle Bemis Presented by Kyle Bemis

Very Light Jets (VLJ) Eclipse 500

ODAS Model Peeta. Paz. DeLaurentis. “Stated preference analysis of a new very light jet based on-demand air service.” 1 Jan 2008.

Dayjet Corp Ceased operations in Sept. 2008

Goals • Interaction of ODAS with rest of transportation network • Could relieve congestion at commercial airports? • Scenarios most favorable to ODAS? (pricing, demand, etc.) • Government aid/funding for an ODAS company?

Method • Agent-Based Model • Collection of decision-making “agents” • Set preferences based on parameters (socioeconomic, etc.) • On a model transportation network • Need behavior models for travelers

Survey

Individuals Willing to use ODAS (Business) Peeta. Paz. DeLaurentis. “Stated preference analysis of a new very light jet based on-demand air service.” 1 Jan 2008.

Individuals Willing to use ODAS (Personal) Peeta. Paz. DeLaurentis. “Stated preference analysis of a new very light jet based on-demand air service.” 1 Jan 2008.

Analysis • Survey responses analyzed in LIMDEP • Discrete-choice (logistic) statistical models built • Results used to build behavioral models for “agents” • 12 Single-combination models • 2 Trip-purpose switching models

Summarized Results • Higher educated individuals more willing to switch • Higher income individuals more willing to switch • Older individuals less willing to switch • More likely to switch if near job or neighborhood • More likely to use at small airports than major airports

The Model

Demand Distribution Demand Saturation

Ongoing Study • Model framework still under development • Researching parameters for nodes on network • Introduce high-speed rail in future models • Hope to show ODAS can relieve congestion, delays, etc. • May spur further interest in development and funding.
