Evaluating competitiveness using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process—A case study of Chinese airlines

With the development of a national market economy, the Chinese aviation industry is now confronted with international competition. Therefore, it is necessary to research the competitive status of Chinese national aviation, as well as advice on how to enhance the competitiveness of the Chinese aviation industry. The main objective of this paper is to propose FAHP as an effective solution for resolving the uncertainty and imprecision in the evaluation of airlines' competitiveness. In this paper, we review the research of industrial international aviation competitiveness at both home and abroad, discuss a theoretical framework for the study of aviation competitiveness, establish an index system with five first‐order indicators and 17 second‐order indicators, set up a Chinese aviation competitiveness model based on simple fuzzy numbers from the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, and evaluate the competitiveness of five major Chinese airlines. The results showed that this model and these indicators are scientific and practical, with a wide range of application prospects for the purpose of improving and increasing Chinese airline competitiveness in the international market. The effective approach presented in this paper is especially applicable when subjective judgments on performance ratings and attribute weights are not accessible or reliable, or when suitable decision makers are not available.

Adoption of Internet Services in Liner Shipping: An Empirical Study of Shippers in Taiwan

Abstract

The Internet service attributes desired by shippers were examined as well as a model that seeks to explain the intention of shippers to use Internet services in liner shipping. Using data collected from a survey of a group of shippers in Taiwan, the relationships among the constructs in the model were tested, namely: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, security and use intention. The results suggest that shippers perceive tracing to be the most important service attribute of Internet services, followed by checking for customs clearance, vessel schedules and electronic document services. The findings indicate that perceived ease of use is the major factor affecting the intention of shippers to use Internet services, and that perceived ease of use has a strong positive effect on perceived usefulness. The results also indicate that security has a positive effect on a shipper’s perception of ease of use. However, the influence of security on use intention and perceived usefulness was not supported in this study. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings on the intention of shippers to use Internet services in liner shipping are discussed.     

重庆市主城区交通方式结构演变与预测分析

交通方式结构演变主要受到各种宏观与微观因素的综合影响。本文以重庆市主城区为例,总结了过去五年的步行、小汽车、地面公交、轨道交通、出租车等五种交通方式结构演变规律,并从供给侧和需求侧出发,揭示了影响交通方式结构演变的各种因素,实现了对出行者交通方式决策过程的刻画。同时,以平均增长率法和随机效用最大化模型为基础,综合考虑重庆市主城区的社会经济发展水平、小汽车和出租车的发展规模、地面公交和轨道交通的服务水平,对2025年、2035年的五种交通方式的出行量和分担率进行了预测。预测结果表明,随着机动化出行比例的不断升高,轨道交通的骨干作用将日益显现,地面公交的保障作用也得到增强,预计2035年,轨道交通和地面公交在重庆市主城区居民出行交通结构中的比例将分别达到24.41%、18.72%,成为最主要的机动化出行方式。     

基于时间富余度控制的滑行道调度优化模型

针对机场场面运行中部分航空器剩余滑行时间较短、准时性低的现状,研究滑行道调度优化问题。在构建基于时间富余度控制的滑行道调度优化模型中,优先考虑以剩余滑行时间为主的航空器动态优先级;以我国某大型机场的场面运行数据为基础,采用生物地理学算法进行仿真验证。结果显示：与经典的先到先服务策略相比,航空器到达滑行终点的误差由1499 s降至553 s,降低了63.1%,冲突航空器到达误差从371 s降至147 s,降低了60.3%;在冲突解脱方面,由剩余滑行时间较多的航空器承担更多的冲突等待,有效减少航空器滑行冲突次数,保障后续停机位指派与跑道调度的有效性,大大提高了滑行道的滑行效率。
