For example, some steps may be decomposed, some steps may be combined or partially combined, and the actual execution order may change according to the actual situation. The words "first", "second" and similar words used in the specific description do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components.
[0026] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and features in different embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0027] Figure 1 The main steps of a route management method in an embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the route management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0028] S110, determining a passenger load factor benchmark value and a flight volume benchmark value.
[0029] The passenger load factor reference value may be a default reference value, such as 75%. The flight volume reference value may be the average flight volume of each route to be managed. For example, if each route to be managed is usually a route of a certain airline, the average flight volume of all routes of the airline is used as the flight volume reference value.
[0030] S120, classifying each route to be managed according to the relationship between the passenger load factor of each route to be managed and the passenger load factor reference value, and the relationship between the flight volume of each route to be managed and the flight volume reference value.
[0031] Among them, the classified routes include: first category routes with a load factor greater than or equal to the load factor benchmark value and a flight volume greater than or equal to the flight volume benchmark value, second category routes with a load factor greater than or equal to the load factor benchmark value and a flight volume less than the flight volume benchmark value, third category routes with a load factor less than the load factor benchmark value and a flight volume greater than or equal to the flight volume benchmark value, and fourth category routes with a load factor less than the load factor benchmark value and a flight volume less than the flight volume benchmark value.
[0032] The route management method of the present invention classifies each route based on two factors: passenger load factor and flight volume, so as to make targeted adjustments to routes of different categories, thereby optimizing the route network of the airline and improving the travel experience of users.
[0033] From the perspective of optimizing the airline's route network, the route management method of the present invention can help the airline understand the balance between its own supply and user demand, so as to formulate targeted optimization and improvement strategies, help the airline evaluate and optimize the allocation of resources, and enable the airline to reasonably arrange aircraft scheduling and route layout to maximize resource utilization efficiency.
[0034] From the perspective of optimizing the user's travel experience, different categories of routes correspond to different user needs. The route management method of the present invention scientifically classifies routes based on two factors: passenger load factor and flight volume, so as to guide airlines to optimize different categories of routes in a targeted manner, thereby meeting users' diverse needs for air travel.
[0035] Figure 2 The main steps of another route management method in an embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIG. Figure 2 Combined with Figure 1 As shown, after all routes of an airline are classified according to passenger load factor and flight volume, the first-category routes with high passenger load factor (i.e., passenger load factor is greater than or equal to passenger load factor benchmark value) and high flight volume (i.e., flight volume is greater than or equal to flight volume benchmark value) are relatively high-quality routes, which have high demand and sufficient supply. The route management method also includes: S230, encrypting the first-category routes after classification according to the search demand of the first-category routes. The search demand is obtained based on the analysis of user search operations. If the user's search operation for the first-category routes exceeds a preset value within a certain period of time, it can be considered that the search demand for the first-category routes is high, and the first-category routes can be encrypted to meet the user's travel needs for the first-category routes. The first-category routes are usually high-quality routes of the airline and can be built into the airline's boutique route brand.
[0036] After classification, the second-category routes with high passenger load factor and low flight volume (i.e., the flight volume is less than the flight volume benchmark value) belong to opportunity market routes, whose demand is saturated but the supply is relatively low. The route management method also includes: S240, for the classified second-category routes, encrypting the second-category routes according to the search demand of the second-category routes. The second-category routes have a high encryption potential. If the search demand is high, the second-category routes can be encrypted to meet the travel needs of users for the second-category routes.
[0037] After classification, the third category routes with low occupancy rate (i.e., occupancy rate less than the occupancy rate benchmark value) and high flight volume are routes to be optimized. Their demand is insufficient but their supply is relatively abundant. It is necessary to further analyze the reasons for the low occupancy rate for targeted optimization. The fourth category routes with low occupancy rate and low flight volume belong to niche market routes. Their demand and supply are relatively weak. They are usually niche routes where the market demand itself is not high. The route management method also includes: S250, for the classified third category routes and fourth category routes, the occupancy rate of the third category routes and the fourth category routes is compared with the market occupancy rate to obtain the occupancy rate comparison results. According to the occupancy rate comparison results, the third category routes and the fourth category routes can be optimized and adjusted in a targeted manner. Specifically, the route management method also includes: S260, for low occupancy rate routes whose occupancy rate is lower than the market occupancy rate, analyzing the price characteristics and capacity time distribution characteristics of the low occupancy rate routes to locate the disadvantages of the low occupancy rate routes; for high occupancy rate routes whose occupancy rate is higher than the market occupancy rate, constructing transit routes, or reducing the density of high occupancy rate routes according to the search needs of high occupancy rate routes.
[0038] The market load factor is the average load factor of all routes. For routes with a load factor lower than the market load factor, their price characteristics and capacity time distribution characteristics are analyzed. Their passenger source characteristics can also be analyzed to see whether their low load factor is due to excessively high prices, poor capacity time distribution, too narrow passenger source, etc., so as to determine the optimization direction. For routes with a load factor greater than or equal to the market load factor, there is usually insufficient market demand. Therefore, by analyzing the transit connectivity of the route, it is evaluated whether the transit route can be expanded. Starting from user needs, the low load factor segment can be used as a segment of the transit route to supplement the transit passenger source and thus increase the load factor; if it is not suitable to build a transit route, the route density can be reduced according to user needs, that is, the high load factor routes can be reduced when the user's search demand is not high.
[0039] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a route management device, which can be used to implement the route management method described in any of the above embodiments.
