Abstract: The shortest taxiing time model,the lowest carbon emission model and the multi-objective model for departure aircrafts are established considering pollutant emissions. Genetic algorithm is employed to conduct case simulation and generate Pareto optimal allocation solution. In addition, considering that CO2 emission accounts for the largest part of pollutant emissions, relation between CO2 unit cost, CO2 emission cost, pollutant emission cost and total cost is studied basing on sensitivity analysis. Experimental results show that: comparing with the shortest taxiing time model, the multi-objective model can keep aircraft taxiing efficiency while reducing 1% pollutant emissions; with CO2 unit cost increasing袁the percentage of CO2 emission cost of pollutant emission cost increases rapidly which indicates high sensitivity when CO2 unit cost is low, and then slows down which shows non-significant sensitivity when CO2 unit cost is high, and the pollutant emission cost of total cost reflects almost positive proportional increase.
