Airport surface operations, such as off-block control, taxi routing, and runway sequencing,
are typically confined to a fixed network topology with given origin–destination (OD) pairs for …

Meta-heuristic algorithms have turned out to be good methods to address optimization
problems with complicated constraints, and those algorithms have been widely applied to …

Environmental issues play an important role across many sectors. This is particularly the
case in the air transportation industry. One area which has remained relatively unexplored in …

With increasing air traffic, rising fuel costs and tighter environmental targets, efficient airport
ground operations are one of the key aspects towards sustainable air transportation. This …

This paper presents a study towards the development of a real-time taxi movement planning
system that seeks to optimize the timed taxiing routes of all aircraft on an airport surface, by …

Among all airport operations, aircraft ground movement plays a key role in improving overall
airport capacity as it links other airport operations. Moreover, ever-increasing air traffic, rising …

High-efficiency taxiing for safe operations is needed by all types of aircraft in busy airports to
reduce congestion and lessen fuel consumption and carbon emissions. This task is a …

Reducing fuel consumption and emissions of aircrafts during taxiing on airport surfaces is
crucial to decrease the operating costs of airline companies and construct green airports. At …

Airports face challenges due to the increasing volume of air traffic and tighter environmental
restrictions which result in a need to actively integrate speed profiles into conventional …

In addition to time efficiency, minimisation of fuel consumption and related emissions has
started to be considered by research on optimisation of airport surface operations as more …
