Investigating the determinants of air passenger traffic has become commonplace. In contrast with most previous publications, this paper investigates these determinants in an emerging country, Turkey, at the provincial level between 2004 and 2014. We find that GDP/capita, population, distance to alternative airports, tourism, leading cities, and international migrations all support more air traffic. Furthermore, market concentration is associated with less traffic, and the presence of academics with more traffic. Mapping models' residuals suggest catchment areas, surface transport options, domestic migrations and (geo)politics could also matter. Accordingly, it appears the determinants of Turkey's air passenger traffic do not differ from those of developed economies. The results also suggest new airports should be built based on the aforementioned factors.

The Social psychological predictors of pedestrian behaviors Demir, Başar; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2017) Pedestrian violations are a major traffic safety problem in low and middle-income countries. Pedestrians have a high responsibility in accidents due to their unsafe behaviors. The problem worsens further by the scarcity of theory-based research to improve our understanding of pedestrian violations. The current behavioral classification on road user behavior suggest that skill-based, rule-based, and knowledge-based performance levels lead to violations, errors, and positive behaviors. These are distinct doma...
The Effects of mind wandering on simulated driving performance Dündar, Ceyda; Mısırlısoy, Mine; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2015) The significant amount of traffic crashes is caused by driver distraction. Studies showed that secondary tasks, which lead to driver distraction, are one of the important reasons for traffic crashes. Additionally, mental distraction, such as mind wandering, may be more dangerous than secondary task distractions. The current study mainly focuses on the effect of mind wandering on driving performance. A novel approach, pre-post probe approach, is developed to assess the mind-wandering episodes of drivers. Add...

Developing test procedure and design of fixture for dynamic test of road ambulances Kaya, Sinan; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019) The number of traffic accidents involving road ambulances is increasing. This situation increases the risk of death and injury of the patients and healthcare workers transported in the patient transport cabin of the road ambulances. Therefore, providing a safer environment for these occupants has become important. Medical devices, drawers, stretcher systems used in the road ambulances should be secured to avoid endangering safety of the occupants. The conformity of the fixing systems designed for this purpo...
Alternative risk-averse approaches for airline network revenue management Terciyanli, Erman; Avşar, Zeynep Müge (Elsevier BV, 2019-05-01) In this study, seat inventory control is considered for airline networks. Alternative optimization models are proposed for risk-averse decision makers by incorporating the following measure: lower-semideviation of revenue from a given threshold level or expected revenue. Performance of the proposed models is tested in a simulation model for a sample network under different scenarios by using a nesting heuristic and simulating arrival pattern of the airline demand.
