A METHOD TO ESTIMATE AIRPORT RUNWAY CAPACITY

A Review of Airport Runway Optimization

Introducing Capacity Surface to Estimate Watermarking Capacity

One of the most important parameters in evaluating a watermarking algorithm is its capacity. Generally, watermarking capacity is expressed by bits per pixel (bpp) unit measure. But this measure does not show what the side effects would be on image quality, watermark robustness and capacity. In this paper we propose a three dimensional measure named Capacity surface which shows the effects of ca...

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...

Runway Scheduling for Charlotte Douglas International Airport

This paper explores a multiple runway scheduling problem and generates the schedule for arrivals, departures and crossing aircraft planning to use the runways within a given planning horizon. We present a mixed integer linear programming-based model that explicitly considers separation criteria between pairs of aircraft and also incorporates various Traffic Management Initiatives. It also inclu...

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...
