Airport logistics - A case study of the turn-around process
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the concept of airport logistics, along with a proof of concept through a case study where we model and optimize de-icing services at Stockholm Arlanda airport. The optimized schedule is tested using a simulation model of the turn-around process. The results demonstrate that a schedule taking into account the overall airport performance results in less delay than the schedule targeting solely the performance objective of the de-icing company.

Scheduling de-icing vehicles within airport logistics: a heuristic algorithm and performance evaluation
Most delays in the air transport occur at the airport. A particular reason is the complexity of managing the large number of supporting flows in airport logistics. We consider the optimisation problem of scheduling de-icing vehicles that is one of the key supporting logistic flows in the turn-around process of aircraft. The objective is to minimize the delay of flights due to de-icing, and the ...
متن کاملA GRASP Heuristic for Scheduling De-icing trucks at Stockholm Arlanda Airport
It is a fact that the most delays in the Air Transportation System (ATS) today occur on the airport. One reason for this is the large number of actors operating at the airport and the scarcity of communication between them and other parts of the ATS. Airport Logistics is a concept developed to survey all the flows of vehicles, people, material and information, which can be found on and around t...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF LAND USE CHANGES ON DESERTIFICATION IN IMAM KHOMEINI AIRPORT REGION-IRAN FROM 1956 TO 2003
The kind of land use and intensity of its change is considered as important desertification indices in different models. Land use change is one of the main anthropogenic factors in the desertification. The current research was carried out around Imam Khomeini airport, with an area of 32000 km2, in order to evaluate mentioned area's land use changes effects during 1955-2003 on desertification. T...
