Modeling and Prediction of Spatial Deterioration of Airport Runway

Optimal Selection of Airport Runway Configurations

We present a mixed integer programming (MIP) model to solve the problems of (i) selecting an airport’s optimal sequence of runway configurations and (ii) determining the optimal balance of arrivals and departures to be served at any moment. These problems, the runway configuration management (RCM) problem and the arrival/departure runway balancing (ADRB) problem, respectively, are of critical i...

A Review of Airport Runway Optimization

Prediction and Control of Departure Runway Balancing at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport

At many airports, aircraft take off from multiple departure runways. During periods of high departure demand, whether or not the departure runways are balanced directly affects the capacity and efficiency of the airport. This paper begins by investigating the cause of runway imbalances. Homogeneity in the direction of flight during a departure push and the procedures for runway assignments are ...

Runway Scheduling for Charlotte Douglas International Airport

This paper explores a multiple runway scheduling problem and generates the schedule for arrivals, departures and crossing aircraft planning to use the runways within a given planning horizon. We present a mixed integer linear programming-based model that explicitly considers separation criteria between pairs of aircraft and also incorporates various Traffic Management Initiatives. It also inclu...

Integrated Optimization of Airport Taxiway and Runway Scheduling

Capacity limitation of runway and taxiway in an airport is often the major limiting factor of air traffic operation. The congestions on the apron of an airport cause severe delay on aircraft schedule. This paper proposes an integrated algorithm to solve problems of runway scheduling and taxiway routing simultaneously for both departure and arrival aircrafts. A set partitioning model with side c...
