A Study on Multiple Airport System in Osaka Metropolitan Area: Network Equilibrium Model Approach

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of domestic air transport market relating to Osaka Metropolitan Area by applying the Bi-Level market model. First, we evaluate the model accuracy with 2002 data. The results show that the model duplicates the PAX flow well but service frequencies are over-estimated. Second, we examine the scenario studies in order to understand the structural relationship among three airports. The results show thatthe strict capacity constraint of ITM leads to the demand shift to KIX but the demand will shift to KOB when KOB has more capacity.
