- A Transportation Systems Analysis Model (TSAM) to study the impact of the
Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) (2005)
In this poster, authors explain a System Dynamics model developed for
measuring efficiency of the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) that
NASA has been developing to enhance intercity travelers' mobility in the
country. The model is comprehensive in the sense that it includes multimodes
such as automobile, commercial airlines and rail. It also considers
different types of decision makers such as travelers, airlines, Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and Federal Rail Administration (FRA) that dynamically
interact with each other based on its own interest. The model allows users to
change several critical but uncertain parameters such as the price for SATS
trip, airports for SATS operations, etc. This feature enables users to do
"what-if" type of study. Technically, the model is developed as a stand-alone
tool with a Graphical User Interface that encloses all computational
procedures written in MALTALB. Socio-economic data and computational
results are represented at a county level using the Geographical Information
System (GIS).
