Taxiing Route Scheduling between Taxiway and Runway in Hub Airport

الملخص EN

To guarantee the operation safety of airport, improve the efficiency of surface operation, and enhance the fairness of taxiing route scheduling, an optimizing model is established for the airport surface taxiing route scheduling.

Reducing the total aircraft taxiing route length and reducing the waiting delay time are the goals of the model by controlling the initial taxiing time of aircraft and choosing the right taxiing route.

The model can guarantee the continuous taxiing for all aircraft without conflicts.

The runway scheduling is taken into consideration in the model to optimize the surface operation.

The improved genetic algorithm is designed for simulation and validation.

The simulation results show that compared with the ant colony optimization method, the improved genetic algorithm reduces the total extra taxiing distance by 47.8% and the total waiting delay time decreases by 21.5%.

The optimization model and improved genetic algorithm are feasible.

The optimization of taxiing route method can provide decision support for hub airports.
