团队与散客一体化舱位控制方法

团队控制问题对于亚洲航空市场,尤其是东南亚市场非常重要。在目前航空公司收益管理研究中,缺乏团队旅客的舱位控制问题研究。团队与散客的舱位控制是相互影响而不能割裂的,应将团队与散客的舱位控制问题综合起来研究。设计了一个数学模型,确定团队与散客的座位分配。由于模型是一个非线性模型,缺乏合适的求解算法。设计了一个分枝搜索算法。通过实例证明算法有效,研究结果可以提高航空公司收益。

Integrated Seat Inventory Control for Group and Single Passengers

Group control was very important for the Asian aviation market, especially the Southeast Asian market. By far, there was lack of study about seat inventory control for group passengers in the field of airline revenue management. Seat inventory controls for group passengers and single passengers had influence on each other and could not be separated. Considering both of them together, a programming model in this paper was established to distribute seats for group passengers and single passengers. a branch search algorithm was designed to solve the model because the model was non-linear for which there was no suitable algorithm. Empirical results demonstrate the ability of the algorithm to quickly and efficiently solve the model and to improve airline revenue.
