An Optimization Model for Aircraft Maintenance Scheduling Based on ABC Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

The problem of airline maintenance scheduling is considered in this paper. A maintenance-scheduling model that can determine rational maintenance date is established, in this model, while aircraft materials as well as other factors are taken as constraints, and aircraft air-on-ground (AOG) loss is set as goal function. In order to solve the model, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is utilized by setting the appropriate number of the bees, which can find the optimal solution rapidly. Finally, airline’s practical data is applied to validate the feasibility and practicality of the model and ABC algorithm.
