Scheduling Aircraft Landings at LSS Airport

چکیده
This paper presents a short contribution in air transportation, specifically in scheduling aircraft (plane) landings at Léopol Sédar Senghor (LSS) airport of Dakar. The safety of air navigation of LSS is managed by ASECNA: Agency for Air Navigation Safety in Africa and Madagascar. Scheduling aircraft landing is the problem of deciding a landing time on an appropriate runway for each aircraft in a given set of aircraft such that each aircraft lands within a predetermined time window. The separation criteria between the landing of an aircraft, and the landing of all successive aircraft, are respected. Our objective is to minimize the cost of deviation from the target times. We present a mixed-integer 0 1 formulation for the single runway case. Numerical experiments and comparisons based on real datasets of LSS airport are presented.

A Statistical Analysis of the Aircraft Landing Process
Managing operations of the aircraft approach process and analyzing runway landing capacity, utilization and related risks require detailed insight into the stochastic characteristics of the process. These characteristics can be represented by probability distributions. The focus of this study is analyzing landings on a runway operating independent of other runways making it as a single runway. ...

With increasing levels of air traffic making effective use of limited airport capacity is obviously important. This paper reports on an investigation undertaken by National Air Traffic Services in the UK into improving runway utilisation at London Heathrow. This investigation centred on developing an algorithm for improving the scheduling of aircraft waiting to land. The heuristic algorithm dev...
متن کاملScheduling Aircraft Landings under Constrained Position Shifting
Optimal scheduling of airport runway operations can play an important role in improving the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS). Methods that compute the optimal landing sequence and landing times of aircraft, while delivering high quality solutions, must accommodate practical issues that affect the implementation of the schedule. One such practical consideration, known ...
متن کاملScheduling aircraft landings to balance workload of ground staff
Scheduling landings of aircrafts is an essential problem which is continuously solved as part of the daily operations of an airport control tower. All planes in the airspace of an airport are to be assigned to landing slots by the responsible air-tra c controller. The support of this decision problem with suited optimization approaches has a long lasting tradition in operations research. Howeve...
متن کاملDisplacement problem and dynamically scheduling aircraft landings
In this paper we define a generic decision problem — the displacement problem. The displacement problem arises when we have to make a sequence of decisions and each new decision that must be made has an explicit link back to the previous decision that was made. This link is quantified by means of the displacement function. One situation where the displacement problem arises is that of dynamical...
