| Abstract: |
As the air traffic flow grows, traffic congestion occurs more frequently in airport terminal areas. One way to solve the problem is to build more runways to extend the airport capacity, but it is too expensive. The alternative is to optimize the queue of aircrafts during their departures or arrivals which could reduce total delay and increase airport capacity. In this paper, a novel mathematical model is proposed that depicts a sorting queue of aircrafts operating on multiple runway airports. Furthermore, the particle-swarm-optimization (PSO) method is used to achieve the optimal queuing result. The experimental results show that one could get more reasonable sorting queues compared to First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) models. |
