Integrated Optimization and Scheduling of Airport Taxiways and Runways Operation
Considering the coupling effects among multiple resources in the airport as well as the long sol-ving time,investigated a two-step integrated optimal scheduling methodfor ground routing problems and runway sequencing problems.This approach divides the scheduling process into two steps:firstly,con-structed a runway sequencing model addressed the conflictsin the apron area and the runway operation in-terval constraints,andemployed a genetic algorithm.Then,the runway takeoff and landing sequences ob-tained in first step are used as the constraints in the second step,and a comprehensive scheduling model is constructed by considering the taxi conflicts as well as the runway spacing constraints.The experimental results show that the two-step integrated optimal scheduling method can realize the integrated optimal scheduling of the taxiway and runway within the computation time that meets the operational require-ments.
