Research on passenger traffic parameters in air transport

Abstract

The article is of a review nature, analyzing the problem of calculating, forming and forecasting passenger traffic over time. The study mainly used publications of scientists in the chosen field of research, covered in recent years, which provides the study with modern scientific achievements in this topic. All publications used are recognized by the scientific community and included in scientometric databases. To obtain results, the system analysis method was applied to the methods and approaches used by the authors in solving the problems of calculating passenger traffic parameters, determining the factors of their formation and modeling these flows. The article formulates the approaches and methods presented by the authors, reveals certain advantages of the solutions proposed by the authors. The results of the analysis of the development of scientific thinking on the analyzed topics are the formation of generalized conclusions on the methods of modeling individual transport processes. It is proven that modern scientists pay significant attention to modeling passenger traffic over time using mathematical modeling, in particular the theory of probability and gravity. Among the popular methods are neural network methods, computer modeling, and methods for solving problems inherent in engineering networks. As a result, a model was obtained for calculating such parameters as: the payback period of the project investment for the purchase of transport for the route, net and net discounted profit flows, maintenance costs of service personnel on the route, the passenger correspondence matrix, the volume of passenger transportation on the route between network nodes, transfer parameters, and many others. The results obtained provide the opportunity to make systemic decisions on the feasibility of certain actions in the route system and provide probable options for the operation of the route system in its management.
