Optimisation of aircrafts during landings - a static case

This paper simulates an aircraft landing problem in which the total deviation cost of actual landing times from the target landing times is minimised under a wide variety of constraints. It is essentially a Mixed Integer zero-one programming where the most optimal landing time is found for a set of...

description This paper simulates an aircraft landing problem in which the total deviation cost of actual landing times from the target landing times is minimised under a wide variety of constraints. It is essentially a Mixed Integer zero-one programming where the most optimal landing time is found for a set of planes that possess realistic and predetermined time window periods and the separation times that are strictly adhered to. The programming language used is Python with an addition compiler known as NumPy that aids in mathematical models. The program was compiled in Gurobi. This paper gives a brief introduction of Air Traffic Management as a whole followed by reviewing important definitions and concepts. Previous research undertaken by several authors in the Operations Research field is studied in Chapter 2.
