碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 管理學院運輸物流學程 === 99 === Hub-and-spoke networks allow airlines to have important productive efficiencies due primarily to the presence of economies of traffic density, this study further explores air cargo demand and networks design problems, especially the traditionally studies hub location problems would pay attention on flight times or networks design. This study focuses on the air cargo flow distribution upon a new routes establishing by researching the current air cargo flow to explore the air cargo demand and networks design problem. Besides through analyzing the air cargo flow, we can also find out the intermodal distribution in the network of North America, as well as the hinterland of each airport. This study also develops a model in order to determinate the optimum network for intermodal transportation which can be able to effectively find out the alternative solution algorithm on each routes. According to the comparison, if the air cargo space allotment could be dispatched effectively by the airline personnel, it can reduce 0.16% of unnecessary expense cost in the trucking transportation, as well as enhance the efficiency of air cargo distribution.
