航空运输的旅行成本研究

为了提高航空运输产品的竞争力，需要加强对市场需求的分析，特别是要注重研究旅客对出行方式的选择行为。提出了旅行成本模型用以定量描述旅客的选择行为，并对京沪、成渝两条典型航线上不同出行方式的旅行成本进行了对比研究，最后对降低航空运输旅行成本的方法进行了简要探讨。

Travel Cost Analysis of Air Transportation

In order to improve the competitive power of air transportation, it is necessary to strengthen the analysis of market demand, especially on the choice behavior of passengers between air transportation and highway or railway transportation. In this paper, a mathematical model of travel cost is established to quantitatively describe the choice behavior of passengers, in which the major factors considered by passengers in their travel method choice, such as money, time, convenience and comfort, are expressed in the form of cost. Generally speaking, the higher the travel cost of a travel method is, the less possible it is to be chosen by passengers. A comparison between the costs by different travel methods is made on two typical air routes, i.e. , Beijing to Shanghai and Chengdu to Chongqing. Finally, the methods for decreasing the travel cost of air transportation are briefly discussed.
