PODS RESEARCH

Originally developed by Boeing in the 1990s to analyze passenger path preference and spill, PODS permits a realistic simulation of the interaction between passenger choice and revenue management in competitive airline markets... PODS simulates the decisions of both business and leisure passengers in terms of their choice of airline flight and fare options, given two or more competitors offering different route networks, aircraft capacities, departure schedules, and multiple fare levels (each with associated restrictions) in hypothetical network environments. The simulation approach of PODS allows airlines to have different route networks, fare products, flight schedules, and RM system capabilities... The Passenger Origin/Destination Simulator (PODS) tests ideas, concepts and proposals in a computational environment that reflects the fundamental dynamic of air transportation.
