Frank S. Koppelman
Professor Emeritus of Civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University
Founding principal of Midwest System Sciences
Frank S. Koppelman, professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University and founding principal of Midwest System Sciences, has been active in academic and professional education, research and consulting in travel behavior for more than 35 years. During the last 15 years he has extensively studied demand for airline travel by itinerary, time of day and fare class in support of yield management planning and decision-making. His models have been incorporated into the pricing and yield management operations of at least on major domestic carrier and indirectly multiple other carriers.
Dr. Koppelman’s expertise lies in the study and application of a variety of discrete choice models to support the analysis of policies in urban and intercity transportation, air-carrier yield management, high-speed rail studies, the impact of information providing technologies and the development and application of advanced econometric models. He has led numerous applied research studies into these and other aspects of travel and related behavior analysis and the associated model development and has developed advanced logit models that allow highly flexible substitution relationships between pairs of alternatives.
Dr. Koppelman is the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Association for Travel Behavior Research. He holds a Ph.D. and B.S. in civil engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an M.B.A. from Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration. He is active in the Transportation Research Board where he is past-chairman and member emeritus of the Committee on Travel Demand Analysis and Forecasting and has served on a number of standing and special committees. He is past associate editor of Transportation Research-B.
