| Abstract | The gravity model was utilized to study international airline passenger interchanges between Bangkok and other
cities. Selected economic, sociologic, and demographic
factors thought to affect international air travel were employed in a gravitational-analogy model; values of the coefficient of correlation were used as a criterion in determining the parameters which resulted in the best fits. Distance and travel time were used for the impedance factor in the model. An attempt was made to fit a three-dimensional gravity model to the data by multiple linear regression. The over-all objective was to calibrate the gravity model to ascertain which statistical parameters would be most reliable for forecasting airline passenger traffic. |
