Digital world map with glowing nodes and connecting lines
Connection builder

The Connection Builder Model constructs all relevant itineraries  based on the input schedule and the detailed connection builder parameters in this model.

Abstract digital pie chart visualization
Market share model

The Market Share Model is a probabilistic choice model. Based on the properties of the defined relevant itineraries and the calibration parameters, the unconstrained passenger traffic share for all itineraries for each city-pair is calculated.

Passenger demand model

This model calculates the unconstrained passenger demand assuming no capacity limitations.

Spill & recapture model

This model evaluates the profitability of a given schedule by mapping the unconstrained itinerary demands calculated by the market share model to the seat capacities given on the legs.
