This paper proposes an integrated scheduling model (ISAA) to handle the complex problem of aircraft arrival scheduling. By incorporating various constraints into the model, the aim is to reduce passenger delay and swap cost. Various neighbourhood search algorithms and local search are used to solve the problem, and compared with the sequential method, the overall performance is significantly improved.
With the rapid development of air transportation, the surface management of large airports has become more complicated. This paper proposes an integrated scheduling model of arrival aircraft (ISAA), in which complex constraints related to runway restrictions, gate assignment and taxiway conflicts are incorporated. With the aim of reducing the total passenger runway delay, passenger taxi delay, and passenger swap cost, the model is built as a set partition model. We propose various neighbourhood search (VNS) algorithm for solving the problem. A variable neighbourhood descent (VND) as local search is integrated into the general variable neighbourhood framework. This method is compared with a sequential method that solves runway sequencing, gate reassignment and taxiway scheduling problem separately. Numerical results based on Nanjing Lukou Internation Airport indicate that, although the swap cost for gate reassignment is slightly increased, the whole performance is significantly improved.
