Airport Gate Scheduling for Passengers, Aircraft, and Operations

چکیده
Passengers’ experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system’s performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers’ interests and concerns. This paper is concerned with airport gate scheduling for improved passenger experience while ensuring robust air-side operations. Three metrics accounting for passengers, aircraft, and operations are presented. Trade-offs between these metrics are analyzed, and a balancing objective function is proposed. Numerical simulations show that the balanced objective can improve the efficiency of traffic flow in passenger terminals and on ramps, as well as the robustness of gate operations. Keywords-airport gate assignment; ramp operation; passengers’ experience; optimization

Airport Gate Scheduling for Passengers, Aircraft, and Operation
Passengers’ experience is becoming a key metric to evaluate the air transportation system’s performance. Efficient and robust tools to handle airport operations are needed along with a better understanding of passengers’ interests and concerns. Among various airport operations, this paper studies airport gate scheduling for improved passengers’ experience. Three objectives accounting for passen...
متن کاملBenders’ decomposition algorithm to solve bi-level bi-objective scheduling of aircrafts and gate assignment under uncertainty
Management and scheduling of flights and assignment of gates to aircraft play a significant role to improve the performance of the airport, due to the growing number of flights and decreasing the flight times. This research addresses the assignement and scheduling problem of runways and gates simultaneously. Moreover, this research is the first study that considers the constraint of unavailabil...
متن کاملA Bi-Objective Airport Gate Scheduling with Controllable Processing Times Using Harmony Search and NSGA-II Algorithms
Optimizing gate scheduling at airports is an old, but also a broad problem. The main purpose of this problem is to find an assignment for the flights arriving at and departing from an airport, while satisfying a set of constraints.A closer look at the literature in this research line shows thatin almost all studies airport gate processing time has been considered as a fix parameter. In this res...
متن کاملAn Exact Solution Approach for the Airport Stand Allocation Problem
Every day planners and dispatcher in airports deal with different decisions related to the movement of aircraft. These decisions usually involve the use of fixed resources like runways, stands (parking positions), and passenger gates. Due to the increasing flow of passengers, these resources are becoming scarce and some airports have experimented a degradation of the services offered. One clear...
متن کاملModelling of Ground Handling Operations at Airport
In aviation, aircraft ground handling defines the servicing of an aircraft while it is on the ground and (usually ) parked at a terminal gate of an airport. Ground handling operations include many activities: passenger handling, ground transport, assistance in blocking the aircraft and delivery of required equipment, loading and unloading of the aircraft, including provision and operation of re...
