Towards the optimisation of the scheduling of aircraft rotations
thesis
posted on 2018-07-26, 14:14 authored by Chung-Leng WuThe aim of this research is to investigate the schedule punctuality and reliability issue
regarding the turnaround operations of an aircraft at an airport and further to explore
the influence of aircraft turnaround operations on the scheduling of aircraft rotation in
a multiple airport environment. An "aircraft rotation model" is developed in this
research by using a stochastic approach to consider the uncertainties in flight schedule
punctuality in the air and on the ground as well as operational uncertainties in aircraft
turnaround operations. The aircraft rotation model is composed of two sub-models,
namely the aircraft turnaround model, which represents the operational process of a
turnaround aircraft, and the en route model, which describes the en route flight time of
an aircraft between two airports. [Continues.]
