Hybrid Metaheuristics to Aid Runway Scheduling at London Heathrow Airport

A London Heathrow is one of the busiest airports in the world, it has only one runway for use by departing aircraft at any time. Separations are required between each pair of aircraft at take-off—depending on their routes, weights, and speeds—to ensure safety. Efficient scheduling of the aircraft for take-off can reduce the total separations and increase throughput. A runway controller is respo...

Optimal Selection of Airport Runway Configurations

We present a mixed integer programming (MIP) model to solve the problems of (i) selecting an airport’s optimal sequence of runway configurations and (ii) determining the optimal balance of arrivals and departures to be served at any moment. These problems, the runway configuration management (RCM) problem and the arrival/departure runway balancing (ADRB) problem, respectively, are of critical i...

A Review of Airport Runway Optimization

Departure Runway Scheduling at London Heathrow Airport Extended Abstract

London Heathrow airport is one of the busiest airports in the world as it is very popular with both airlines and passengers. The capacity of the departure system at Heathrow is limited by the capacity of the runway. It is therefore imperative to maximise the throughput of the single available departure runway. Aircraft taxi from the stands to the ends of the runway where they queue in holding p...
