Optimal Control of Flight Delays Allocation at Airport

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at improving the unreasonable situation of flight delay allocation, an optimization model which contains two cases was proposed. One of the cases is to transfer all the delay to several delayed flights to avoid delay spread, which can increase the flight punctuality rate to ensure the departure of the majority flights. Oppositely, the other is to balance the delay losses of airlines, as well as the passengers, for realizing the fairness. According to the latest data from an airport in western China, the model was verified with genetic algorithm, which indicates that the model not only decrease the total delay losses, but also optimize the flight delay allocation which achieves the initial goal.
