Description:
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 multi-modes 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).
