Modeling Airlines Decisions On Route Selection Using Discrete Choice Models - Data and Supplementary Materials

<p>The supplementary results are documented in Appendix.pdf</p> <p>The following are the data files included in this set;</p> <p>1. finalData****&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;- Has the data processed by applying filters to raw BTS data<br /> 2. airportsList&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;- Identifies the airports included in our network topology<br /> 3. unionSet&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;- Matrix that indicates the set of routes that existed in given years</p> <p>Details of the data files.</p> <p>1. finalData****<br /> This data file includes the filtered data from BTS that we used for our analysis.

The &#39;****&#39; indicator in the&nbsp;name indicates the year for which this data file is created. The included matrix has the following columns:<br /> possRoutes: &nbsp;&nbsp;This is the set of 8646 possible routes, which, if all of them exist, would make for a fully&nbsp;connected network. They are identified by a ten digit code, the first five digits of which are&nbsp;&nbsp;the Airport ID of the origin airport as assigned in the BTS dataset, and the last five digits&nbsp;are the same for the destination airport.<br /> DISTANCE:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;This is the distance between the airport pairs.<br /> ROUTES: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A column that identifies the routes that exist in the given year. &#39;1&#39; indicates the route exists&nbsp;while &#39;0&#39; indicates that it does not.<br /> ADD: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;These are the routes that were added in the current year; they are identified by &#39;1&#39;.<br /> DEL: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;These are the routes that were deleted in the current year; they are identified by &#39;1&#39;.<br /> HUBS: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; These identify the &#39;hub-level&#39; of the route. &#39;0&#39; indicates both the terminal airports on this&nbsp;route are non-hubs, &#39;1&#39; indicates that one of the two airports is a hub, and &#39;2&#39; indicates that&nbsp;both airports are hubs.<br /> DIRECT_COST:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;This is the direct operating cost on the route.
