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...

Due to the rapid growth of air transport traffic, how to efficiently allocate gates at airports to incoming or outgoing flights has become one of the most important problems which managers of airlines and airports have to concern about. The problem, which can be modeled as a scheduling problem, is often referred to as flight gate scheduling. The main purpose of flight gate scheduling is to find...

In this paper we consider the combinatorial optimization problem known as workflow scheduling. We compare three encoding schemes of varying density: one-hot, binary, and domain wall, test their performance against two well-known hybrid quantum-classical algorithms: Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) Variational Eigensolver (VQE). an attempt to obtain best results possible, invest...

There is no production system without having a logistic CIM system, now. The more the hardware equipment is developed for the logistic CIM, the more the logistic CIM is automated and integrated by them. As comparing the software system with the hardware one, the software system, which totally manages the hardware equipment, is behind the hardware system. An automated shipping sorter is one of s...

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...

Proper scheduling of tasks leads to optimum using of time and resources, in order to obtaining best result. One of the most important and complicated scheduling problems is open shop scheduling problem. There are n jobs in open shop scheduling problem which should be processed by m machines. Purpose of scheduling open shop problem is attaining to a suitable order of processing jobs by specified...

The Surface Operations Simulator and Scheduler (SOSS) is a fast-time simulation of the airport surface used to rapidly develop and test new surface scheduling concepts. Gate conflicts present a challenge for surface scheduling. A late departure pushback or early arrival sharing the same gate can cause a gate conflict, which if left unmanaged, can lead to surface gridlock. Surface scheduling con...

The authors propose a new scheduling model and solution method for Ground Movement Problem (GMP) which is designed to manage the movements of flights on surface airport air-side in an effective manner. Since arrival time off-block departure are usually uncertain parameters GMP, proposed stochastic integrates three-dimensional (3-D) taxiway routes’ assignment (with variable taxiing speed flights...
