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...

An aircraft is said to be operated in a trim condition when the body axis accelerations are zero. In other words, no resultant forces or torque act on the aircraft. The purpose of the longitudinal controller of an aircraft is to help pilots to move the aircraft from one trim condition to another, or to stabilize the aircraft in an operating trim condition while the aircraft is subjected to dist...

This paper addresses decentralized multi-project scheduling under uncertainty. The problem instance we study is the scheduling of airport ground handling services, where aircraft turnarounds can be seen as multiple projects, ground handling services as activities, and service providers as resources. In this environment aircraft requiring ground handling services and the corresponding service pr...

Reducing the delays of the departing aircraft can potentially lead to improving the efficiency of the surface operations at airports. This paper addresses a departure scheduling problem with an objective to reduce total aircraft delays subject to timing and ordering constraints. The ordering constraints model the queuing area of airports where the aircraft align themselves in the form of chains...

Aircraft maintenance planning and scheduling constitute planning, control and execution of materials (spare parts), operations (inspection, disassembly and assembly activities) and resources (labour, machines, transport equipment, etc.). This is a complex problem due to large number of components involved at various planning and execution levels, and the size/nature of resource-intensive mainte...

this research, for the first time presents the flexible flow shop model of scheduling method for considering runway assignment and operations planning together. one of the advantages of the developed model is considering the procedures of air routes in terminal airspace and separation between consecutive aircraft which is very similar to the real world condition. there are different objective f...

This study developed a decision support system (DSS) to schedule EGYPTAIR airline decisions regarding purchasing, leasing, or disposing of aircraft over period of time based on passenger demand forecasting and all costs associated with operating fleet of aircraft, the study implemented on three routes on EGYPTAIR airlines.

This paper presents a Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach to optimize the long-term scheduling of maintenance for an aircraft fleet. The problem considers fleet status, capacity, and other constraints schedule hangar checks specified time horizon. are scheduled within interval, goal is to, them as close possible their due date. In doing so, number reduced, availability increases. A Deep Q-lear...

We use a mathematical model based on hybrid automata theory to describe air traffic flow in arrival mgions near airports. We show that the problem of scheduling the arrival flow subject to airspace and airport metering constraints may he formulated as a Mized Integer Linear Pmgmm (MILP). We demonstrate an implementation of this program, which accepts Air %fie Contml (ATC) data, performs the sch...

The aircraft scheduling problem consists in sequencing on airport runways and their times of operations taking into consideration several operational constraints. It is known to be an NP-hard problem, ongoing challenge for both researchers air traffic controllers. aim this paper present a focused review the most relevant techniques recent literature (since 2010) runway including exact approache...
