Handling Airport Ground Processes Based on Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling

This paper describes how the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) can be used as a basis for real-time decision support in the disruption management of the aircraft turnaround, the most typical airport ground process. For this purpose, the RCPSP is extended by the possibility to describe alternative activities, which can be used to model potential process modi cations. An evo...

Model of Airport Ground Lighting System Transformers

Airport ground lighting (AGL) systems provide visual reference to aircrafts during airport operations. In AGL systems, constant current regulators feed a beacon circuit supplied through isolation transformers. Component modeling is necessary to simulate AGL systems, and thus characterize and predict their behavior. This paper presents an isolation transformer model including transformer core sa...

Iterative Planning of Airport Ground Movements

Abstract—Ground traffic optimization is a major issue of air traffic management: optimal ground circulation could decrease flight delays and consequently decrease costs and increase passenger wellness. This paper proposes a planning algorithm for ground traffic based on contract reservation. This algorithm is iterative: it plans aircraft itinerary one after the other. A first version is describ...
