The economic evaluation of a new airport investment requires the use of estimated future air passenger demand.Today it is well known that air passenger demand is basicly dependent on various socioeconomic factors of the country and the region where the planned airport would serve. This study is focused on estimating the future air passenger demand for planned airports in Turkey where the historical air passsenger data is not available.For these purposses, neural networks and multi-linear regression were used to develop forecasting models. As independent variables,twelve socioeconomic parameters are found to be significant and used in models. The available data for the selected indicators are statistically analysed and it is observed that most of the data is highly volatile, heteroscedastic and show no definite patterns. In order to develop more reliable models, various methods like data transformation, outlier elimination and categorization are applied to the data.Only seven of total twelve indicators are used as the most significant in the regression model whereas in neural network approach the best model is achieved when all the twelve indicators are included. Both models can be used to predict air passenger demand for any future year for Or-Gi and Zafer Airports and future air passenger demand for similar airports. Regression and neural models are tested by using various statistical test methods and it is found that neural network model is superior to regression model for the data used in this study.

REFUNCTIONING PROPOSALS OF AIRPORTS AND AVIATION BUILDINGS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE: CASE OF ISTANBUL ATATURK AIRPORT Uraz, Can; Zelef, Mustafa Haluk; Department of Architecture (2021-9-09) Progress and expansion on the aviation industry in the recent times force airports and aviation buildings to either be improved or be abandoned. Considering the latest statistics of vacant airports and different effects emerging lately all over the world, it can be predicted that the pressure on the physical spaces of aviation will increasingly continue. However, since “airport” as a new typology appearing from the early 20th century could satisfy the expectations of the industry up to recent past, abandonm...
Evaluation of the pricing preferences and value of time for high speed rail (HSR) users in Turkey Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Dalkıç Melek, Gülçin (2019-01-01) High Speed Rail (HSR), a new intercity passenger mode in Turkey, has high travel time reduction potential and competes against both road and air travel modes. A survey among the current HSR users showed that pricing at intercity bus ticket level is a factor increasing the preferability of HSR. If HSR ticket price is more than bus ticket price, 60 0 of the HSR users stated to prefer HSR, while only 40 0 stated preference, if HSR is priced equal to air ticket prices. Binary logit models developed in the study...
Critical success factors for build operate transfer (BOT) projects: lessons learned from airport projects Kashef, Mohammad; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) BOT model is widely used in developing countries to facilitate the construction of immediately needed infrastructure projects with both technical and financial risks being borne by the private sector. BOT model differs from traditional ones because of its financial structure and operation service that is included in the concession. The aim of this research is to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) for BOT projects by examining real BOT projects, mainly airport projects. In this research, a detailed...
Dynamic approach to wind sensitive optimum cruise phase flight planning Yıldız, Güray; Kayalıgil, Sinan; Department of Operational Research (2012) A Flight Management System (FMS) performs 4 Dimensional flight planning; Lateral Planning (Calculation of the latitude and longitudes of waypoints), Vertical Planning (Calculation of the altitudes of waypoints) and Temporal Planning(Calculation of Estimated Time of Arrival). Correct and accurate calculation of4D flight path and then guiding the pilot/airplane to track the route in specified accuracy limits in terms of lateral (i.e Required Navigational Performance RNP), vertical (Reduced Vertical Seperation...
Analysis of flow structure in a helicopter cabin to improve the thermal comfort using cfd modeling Şahin, Doruk; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin (null; 2019-09-20) Proper distribution of conditioned air inside the cabins of passenger transportation type aircrafts is crucial in terms of passengers? comfort. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models are developed using ANSYS FLUENT to investigate the thermal comfort levels of the passengers in a newly designed passenger transportation helicopter. The results reveal that the performance of the existing personalized air distribution system of the helicopter is inadequate to provide a comfortable envi...
