A model of apron travel time for automatic aircraft routing applications in airport taxiways
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a model of an airport apron that has been developed in order to determine a dynamical model for aircraft travel time in this area. This model is intended for future systems that will support automated routing and taxiing of aircraft in airport taxiways. The apron model proposed keeps into account the main issues related to the aircraft ground movements, such as aircraft conflict management. This model was developed to integrate the software tool taXi Route Planner (XRP), a proprietary software of Selex Sistemi Integrati S.p.A. Malpensa Airport was selected as a case study and the model was verified by field testing on real traffic data.

متن کاملAn Algorithm for Managing Aircraft Movement on an Airport Surface
The present paper focuses on the development of an algorithm for safely and optimally managing the routing of aircraft on an airport surface in future airport operations. This tool is intended to support air traffic controllers’ decision-making in selecting the paths of all aircraft and the engine startup approval time for departing ones. Optimal routes are sought for minimizing the time both a...

متن کاملHeuristic search for the coupled runway sequencing and taxiway routing problem
This paper presents the first local search heuristic for the coupled runway sequencing (arrival & departure) and taxiway routing problems, based on the receding horizon (RH) scheme that takes into account the dynamic nature of the problem. As test case, we use Manchester Airport, the third busiest airport in the UK. From the ground movement perspective, the airport layout requires that departin...
