Research Status and Prospects of Airport Gate Assignment Problem
To improve the efficiency of airport resource utilization,numerous studies have focused on opti-mization models and solution methods for gate assignment problems.Firstly,outlined the concept of airport gate assignment problem.Secondly,based on different stakeholders such as passengers,airports,airlines,and robustness,the optimization objectives of gate assignment are reviewed,and the constraints of gate as-signment problem are summarized.Then,the research on algorithm design and application in gate assign-ment is surveyed from the perspectives of mathematical programming and intelligent optimization meth-ods,and a comparison of different algorithms is presented.Finally,the future research trends in gate as-signment are discussed,including consideration of interactive relationships among different optimization objectives,dynamic real-time assignment,joint allocation of multiple resources,innovative optimization al-gorithms,and consideration of uncertain factors.
