Towards a Hub-and-Spoke Network: a Study on the Chinese Mainland Hub Airport Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The airlines reorganization will accelerate the switch of the Chinese mainland civil aviation system from a former point-to-point (PP) structure to a hub-and-spoke (HS) network. In such a context, the major efforts of our paper are put into identifying hub airports in mainland China. We first analyze the HS network’s competitive advantages and find four desirable hub characteristics. A three-level method is developed to incorporate the required hub features and applied to the hub airport planning. Roles of the hubs in the planning scheme are mainly in three categories. Further discussion is extended to network adjustment as well as its dynamic evolution.

HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...

The existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. Although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...

In this paper, a complete review of published researches about hierarchical facility location and hub network problems is presented. Hierarchical network is a system where facilities with different service levels interact in a top-down way or vice versa. In Hierarchical systems, service levels are composed of different facilities. Published papers from (1970) to (2015) have been studied and a c...

Supply chain is an integrated system of facilities and activities. Gaining the optimum design of demand satisfaction network is one of the most important live issues in the decision making problems category. Most of previous studies considered unreal assumptions such as the lack of capacity constraints to satisfy demand in the network and in hubs. By considering the nature of the case that have...

Hub location problem is one of the new issues in location problems. This kind of location problem is widely used in many transportation and telecommunication networks. Hubs are facilities that serve as transshipment and switching point to consolidate flows at certain locations for transportation,airline and postal systems so they are vital elements of such these networks. The location and numb...
