Abstract:

Aircraft scheduling has been the bottleneck of air transport in airport terminals all the time. In order to improve the airport runway efficiency and to reduce the runway condition of too busy or too idle for a long time and improve the using efficiency of airport resources. Based on multi-runway scheduling problem of arrival aircraft, a 0-1 mixed integer programming model is established to minimize the maximum aircrafts delay and analyze the results with CPLEX which are then compared with the result of FCFS (first-come-first-served) model. Example proves that CPLEX is better than FCFS, and the proposed model can better optimize multi-runway scheduling problem of arrival aircrafts, offering guidance to airport terminals in practical application.

Key words: scheduling optimization, multi-runway, arrival aircraft, CPLEX solution, FCFS, integer programming
