Constraint Programming Method for Crew Schedule Recovery

Article Preview

Abstract:

Unexpected disruptions such as aircraft failure and airport closure often make the original flight schedule cannot operate regularly and destroy the crew duties. This paper proposed a constraint programming model to solve the crew recovery problem. The total recovery cost was taken as the objective function, temporal-spacial requirements, deadheading and time legalities were considered as constraints. An algorithm based on sequential, least slack and greedy thoughts was designed to search the solution space. Finally, an example was test to indicated feasibility of the proposed model and algorithm.
