Prof. Strauss is giving a guest lecture on 18 May at the Mercator school of management Duisburg Essen.
To inform current discussions on the future role of the network manager in air traffic management, we illustrate the value of flexible flight-to-route assignments by dynamically influencing airspace users’ choices by pricing decisions to make flexible options more attractive when needed; the overall aim is to reduce costs arising from re-routings, tactical delays, and penalties (for violating fairness and revenue neutrality conditions). This problem is structurally related to the last mile next day delivery problem but poses some special challenges.
The presentation is based on the paper "The value of flexible flight-to-route assignments in pre-tactical air traffic management" of Jan-Rasmus Kuennen and Arne Strauss.
