Title: | Identifying hubs in airline networks: overcoming some data problems | Authors: | WETS, Geert Devriendt, Lomme Derudder, Ben WITLOX, Frank |
Issue Date: | 2005 | Publisher: | Hasselt Hasselt University 2005 | Source: | Proceedings of the BIVEC-GIBET Transport Research Day; 2. p. 291-307. | Abstract: | The proper identification of airline hubs requires both accurate definitions and appropriate data. Standard information sources do not feature the actual routes flown by passengers, and therefore a new and previously untapped database is introduced. The employed data are transnational and feature origin/destination statistics with additional information on intermediate stops (if any), which allows a thorough assessment of hub structures in the global airline network. A threefold analysis is presented, i.e.(i) an overview of the major hubs in absolute terms, (ii) a similar overview of hubs in relative terms, (iii) a more refined analysis of the spatiality of some important hubs. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/5981 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
