Abstract:
A method for simulating the development over time of bookings situations for flights. It is proposed that a first number of hard parameters which include at least one flight schedule between at least two departure and arrival points, and a second number of soft parameters which include at least one fare for a flight between the at least two departure and arrival points, are provided, as well as a virtual environment which constitutes a representation of a real environment in which virtual passengers book flights under conditions defined in each case by the parameters. The pattern over time of the totality of all bookings is recorded and can be displayed on a display device and wherein a user influences the respective bookings situations by prior adjustment of at least one of the soft parameters.

Claim (Index 9):
A system for simulating the development over time of flight booking situations for training purposes, the system comprising:\n a computer device for producing a virtual environment which constitutes a representation or model of a real environment and in which virtual passengers book flights under the conditions defined in each case by the parameters; at least a first input device for inputting (i) a first number of hard parameters, which are not readily modifiable, but only by an administrator, wherein the hard parameters comprise at least one flight schedule between at least a departure point and an arrival point, and (ii) a second number of soft parameters, wherein the soft parameters comprise at least one fare for a flight between the at least two departure and arrival points; at least one memory device for storing the hard parameters and the soft parameters, and for storing a pattern over time of the totality of all booked flights; at least two physically separate user interfaces each with a display device and an input device, via which at least two different users can influence the respective simulated bookings situations each by modifying at least one of the soft parameters; wherein different permissions are defined for different users for modifying parameters and/or different parameter areas within which the actions can move such that each of the two users represents a different airline company; and at least one computing device for determining and outputting a profit to be expected on the basis of a respective current simulated bookings situation for a flight managed by one of the users or that of several or all of the flights managed by one of the users.
