Abstract:

Taking the competition between nearby airports into consideration during passenger throughput forecast,the general non-linear differential equations with eight different modes about the passenger throughputs in airports of Shanghai,Nanjing and Hangzhou are firstly presented based on the population dynamics theory with competition and addition of constants in classical differential equations. Then an optimization method is presented to estimate the parameters in the equations based on the least square method. In the method the parameters are estimated one by one in some cycles. Lastly the passenger forecast in airports of Shanghai,Nanjing and Hangzhou is performed by using the presented model. It can be seen from the results that the model can reflect the relationships among the three airports and the developments of them.

Key words: airport passenger throughputs, population dynamics, competitive relationship, predicting model, optimization method
