The Aircraft Arrival/Departure Problem (AADSP) is the core problem in current runway system, even has become bottleneck to prevent improvement of airport efficiency. This paper studies single AADSP. A Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model constructed and an algorithm named Ant Colony based on Rank 2 Matrix Approximation (RMA-AC) method proposed. Numerical results validate that new algorithm, as...

Aircraft ground movement plays a key role in improving airport efficiency, as it acts link to all other operations. Finding novel approaches coordinate the movements of fleet aircraft at an order improve system resilience disruptions with increasing autonomy is center many studies for airside Moreover, autonomous taxiing envisioned component future digitalized airports. However, state-of-the-ar...

This thesis reports on research into the applicability of intelligent agents in the airline scheduling environment. The methodology employed was to look at intelligent agent research and then, based on this, to build models that can be used to solve some of the airline scheduling problems. • An agent-based model was developed that can assist airline schedulers in the maintenance of a disrupted ...

Abstract The research presented in this paper focuses on the development of a quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (qLPV) model for XV-15 tiltrotor aircraft. specific category qLPV modeling technique, known as stitching is employed to time-varying dynamics aircraft over entire flight envelope. In approach, discrete linear state-space models are interpolated through lookup tables function scheduling p...

Aircraft movements on taxiways at busy airports often create bottlenecks. This paper introduces a mixed integer linear program to solve a Multiple Route Aircraft Taxi Scheduling Problem. The outputs of the model are in the form of optimal taxi schedules, which include routing decisions for taxiing aircraft. The model extends an existing single route formulation to include routing decisions. An ...

In airline scheduling a variety of planning and operational decision problems have to be solved. We consider the problems aircraft routing and crew pairing: Aircraft and crew must be allocated to flights in a schedule in a minimal cost way. Although these problems are not independent, they are usually formulated as independent mathematical optimisation models and solved sequentially. This appro...
