Sound-Quality-Based Decision Making in Multiobjective Optimisation of Operations for Sustainable Airport Scenarios

The paper deals with a community-oriented approach to the multiobjective optimisation of sustainable takeoff and landing procedures commercial aircraft. objective functions be minimised are defined as measure area surrounding airport where Sound Exposure Level (SEL) is higher than 60 dBA, amount fuel burned during procedure. first merit factor number citizens affected by potentially harmful noise level, whereas second proportional chemical emissions. novelty present use criterion based on sound quality for selection optimal procedure from Pareto front set. spectrum produced each non-dominated solution compared reference spectrum, target sound. This synthesised meet acceptance requirements that emerged campaign psychometric tests. rationale underlying research tightly linked expected transformation civil aviation, advent new air transport solutions in urban suburban environments. breakthrough nature emerging scenarios requires drastic renewal approaches used management operations, work represents contribution this evolution. attained adopting global, deterministic method, numerical results obtained single- twin-aisle
