TOPIC:
Aviation Demand Forecasting Model with the Help of Actual Data Analysis by Comparing Existing Models
ABSTRACT:
The goal of this paper is to feed actual data to the selected forecasting models based on different conditions and then compare the results with each other. In the process, try to establish a model which can have a projection for next few years with a negligible deviation from the real data based on the comparison. The focus will be on number of flights, passenger demand and airfare and to establish a strong model will be crucial as there are other entities such as GDP, Load Factor, Fuel Cost, Revenue, Operating Expense, Revenue Per Mile, Available Seat Miles which could affect them directly or indirectly. With the help of various analytical tools such as trend analysis, probability analysis, correlation and regression model the collected actual data will be analyzed and validated. Then the forecast scenarios will be identified. It will also deal with how to develop a model to forecast air passenger demand and air fare to evaluate passenger terminal capacity expansion to meet the future demand. Dynamics frameworks normally be used to model, analyze and generate scenario to increase the system performance where its capability of representing physical and information flows actually continuously converted into decisions and actions. Researchers found that airfare impact, level of service impact, GDP, population, number of flights per day and dwell time play an important role. It also helps determining the air passenger volume, No. of air flights arrangements and on top total additional area needed for passenger terminal capacity expansion including runway utilization. It will discuss about demand forecast uncertainty in brief just to mention that there are various practical reasons and entities that can be impossible to predict accurately as well. It includes the capacity extension and discus how directly it depends on demand forecasting.

Black Spaces Matter: Exploring the Aesthetics and Architectonics of an Abolitionist Neighborhood
- Location: Boston, MA
- Cost: NA
- Contact: Art History Department
- Description: NOVEMBER 19 - JANUARY 29
MCCORMICK GALLERY
BOSTON ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE
320 NEWBURY STREET
BOSTON, MA 02115**
This exhibit showcases the abolitionist neighborhood near the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. This neighborhood, which was the home of many African-Americans, white and black abolitionists, and former slaves, provides a lens through which we may study interracial aspects of American cities. Massachusetts abolished slavery in 1783, more than 80 years before the Thirteenth Amendment; however, federal law supporting slave owners superseded this law and there were cases of slaves being "reclaimed" from Massachusetts in the years that followed. A strong network of abolitionists, both black and white, gave New Bedford its claim to fame that no slave was ever forcibly "reclaimed" from it.
New Bedford's architecture reflects a period of relative racial equality and tolerance in "the city that lit the world" during its whaling boom. This neighborhood includes a mixture of Gothic Revival, Federal, Greek Revival, and early Italianate homes, as well as modest cottages. Important historical figures, such as Fredrick Douglass and Lewis Temple, resided in these homes.
In recent years we have seen a growing body of literature on race and architecture; however, this scholarship has focused mostly on the negative side of such built environments; lacking is an in-depth exploration of the form and function of interracial neighborhoods. This exhibit celebrates the aesthetics and architectonics of a neighborhood where many former slaves lived side-by-side with the rest of the population and engaged multiple aspects of the city's interracial architecture. Through this exhibit, local New Bedford experts along with students and faculty from UMass Dartmouth and the BAC will reveal a lesser-known progressive interracial neighborhood in the United States.
Please join us on Friday, December 1, from 5:30-7:30 pm, for a special panel discussion and reception.
Black Spaces Matter is supported by a Creative Economy Fund from the Ofice of the UMass President, Perkins + Will Associates, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Boston Architectural College (BAC), New Bedford Historical Society, Rotch Jones Duff House and Garden Museum, and Spinner Publications.

Examining Different Learning Methods for Airline Decisions of Route Planning
ABSTRACT:
The airline industry has important decision to make in airline route planning i.e. add new route if it has demand and deletes existing route if the route has not much demand. Such decisions are important for increasing profitability, understanding customers flight preference behavior, satisfying customers need, make changes in route planning and adapting to competitive changes. The aim of this paper is to develop a predictive model to identify parameters affecting airline route planning and making an accurate decision while adding or deletion a route for effective network topology in airline transportation. These models are useful for stakeholders and airline managers to make smart choices. Discrete choice models are widely used for modeling algorithms in the airline industry. These models are created using utility function, a linear function of independent variables and their interaction effects. Utility function uses binary choice model for making decision of route selection. They are also used to project future demand estimates to support policy exploration. This latter use for prediction is indirectly aligned with and conditional to the models estimation which aims to fit the observed data. On the other hand, machine learning models are designed in such a way that they maximize prediction accuracy. In this project, different models are made for airline decisions on route planning using discrete choice model and machine learning models and a comparison study is performed using prediction accuracy on route addition or deletion. The performance was better using machine learning models compared to the discrete choice model in both route addition and deletion.
