Multiobjective Optimization Model for Collaborative En-Route and Slot Allocation

Abstract EN

To allocate the en-routes and slots resource to the flights with collaborative decision-making, a multiobjective 0-1 integer programming model was proposed.

According to different demands from air traffic control departments, airlines, and passengers, efficiency, equity, and effectiveness principles of collaborative decision-making were considered.

With the aim to minimize the total flight delay costs, the total number of turning points, and average delay time of passengers, the effectiveness constraints were achieved.

The algorithm was designed to solve the model on the basis of the objective method, and Lingo11 and MatlabR2007b were applied in numerical tests.

To test how well the model works in real world, a numerical test was performed based on the simulated data of a civil en-route.

Test results show that, compared with the traditional strategy of first come first served, the model gains better effect.

The superiority of the model was verified.
