Hybrid Genetic-cuckoo Search Algorithm for Solving Runway Dependent Aircraft Landing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the demand for air transportation continues to grow, some flights cannot land at their preferred landing times because the airport is near its runway capacity. Therefore, devising a method for tackling the Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP) in order to optimize the usage of existing runways at airports is the focus of this study. This study, a hybrid Genetic-Cuckoo Search (GCS) algorithm for optimization the ALP with runway is proposed. The numerical results showed that the proposed GCS algorithm can effectively and efficiently determine the runway allocation, sequence and landing time for arriving aircraft for the three test cases by minimizing total delays under the separation constraints in comparison with the outcomes yielded by previous studies.

Due to an anticipated increase in air traffic during the next decade, air traffic control in busy airports is one of the main challenges confronting the controllers in the near future. Since the runway is often a bottleneck in an airport system, there is a great interest in optimizing the use of the runway. The most important factors in aircraft landing modeling are time and cost. For this reas...
متن کاملDeparture 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...

Runway length is usually a critical point in an airport system so, a great interest has been created for optimal use of this runway length. The most important factors in modeling of aircraft landing problem are time and cost while, the costs imposed on the system because of moving away from target times have different performances in terms of impact. In this paper, firstly, aircraft landing pro...
متن کاملScatter Search and Bionomic Algorithms for the aircraft landing problem
The problem of deciding how to land aircraft approaching an airport involves assigning each aircraft to an appropriate runway, computing a landing sequence for each runway and scheduling the landing time for each aircraft. Runway allocation, sequencing and scheduling for each aircraft must ensure the scheduled landing time lies within a predefined time window and meet separation time requiremen...
