A Single Airport Time Slot Allocation Method Considering Scheduling Delay and Operational Delay

Abstract

At present, when flight seasonal routing management departments make the flight plans, there is a lack of quantitative assessment of the actual execution of the delay together with the technology for finding the potential key link of flight delays. In order to enhance the scientificity and rationality of flight seasonal scheduling, this paper proposes a flight schedule optimization model based on historical data, for the purpose of reducing airline’s request deviation, i.e., the time difference between allocated time slots and airline requets and operational delays. This model construct an object function which make the total operating and planned delay minimum and firstly introduce corridor capacity as constraint. In the experimental part based on the historical data of Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, we use Hungarian algorithm to give solutions of this model and prove the feasibility and effectiveness.
