Book Disruption Recovery in Air Traffic

Download or read book Disruption Recovery in Air Traffic written by Prabhu Manyem and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disruptions to commercial airline schedules are frequent and can inflict significant costs. This is the first book to treat the optimisation of disruption management (irregular operations) in air traffic from a common good perspective that addresses the concerns of airlines, airports, air traffic service providers and, most importantly of all, the travelling public. It describes a number of disruption management systems which are already in place at air traffic service (ATC) providers such as Airservices Australia. As such, the book will be of immense value to ATC providers, and will serve as a reference point for planners at airline operations centres who control movements within a 48-hour window. The optimisation techniques described here will also be very useful to academics and postgraduate students in civil aviation and operations research.

Book Airline Schedule Recovery After Airport Closures

Download or read book Airline Schedule Recovery After Airport Closures written by Nicholas G. Rupp and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, repeated airport closures due to potential security breaches have imposed substantial costs on travelers, airlines, and government agencies in terms of flight delays and cancellations. Using data from the year following September 11th, this study examines how airlines recover flight schedules upon reopening of airports that have been closed for security reasons. As such, this is the first study to examine service quality during irregular operations. Our results indicate that while outcomes of flights scheduled during airport closures are difficult to explain, a variety of factors, including potential revenue per flight and logistical variables such as flight distance, seating capacity and shutdown severity, significantly predict outcomes of flights scheduled after airports reopen. Given the likelihood of continued security-related airport closings, understanding the factors that determine schedule recovery is potentially important.

Book Passenger Centric Integrated Airline Schedule and Aircraft Recovery

Download or read book Passenger Centric Integrated Airline Schedule and Aircraft Recovery written by Luis Cadarso and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airlines are known to compete for passengers, and airline profitability heavily depends on the ability to estimate passenger demand, which in turn depends on flight schedules, fares and the number of seats available at each fare, across all airlines. Interestingly, such competitive interactions and passenger substitution effects may not be limited to planning stages. Existing regulations in some countries and regions impose monetary compensations to passengers in case of disruptions, altering the way they perceive the utility of other travel alternatives after the disruption starts. These passenger rights regulations may act as catalysts of passengers' response to recovered schedules. Ignoring such passenger response behavior under operational disruptions may lead airlines to develop subpar recovery schedules. We develop a passenger response model and embed it into a novel integrated optimization approach that recovers airline schedules, aircraft, and passenger itineraries while endogenizing the impacts of airlines' decisions on passenger compensation and passenger response. We also develop an original solution approach, involving exact linearization of the nonlinear passenger cost terms, combined with delayed constraint generation for ensuring aircraft maintenance feasibility and an acceleration technique that penalizes deviations from planned schedules. Computational results on real-world problem instances of a major Spanish airline are reported, for scenarios involving disruptions, such as delayed flights and airport closures. Our solutions are found to be tractable, superior to airline's actual decisions, and highly robust in the face of passenger response uncertainty. Of particular relevance to the practitioners, our simulation results highlight that accounting for passengers' disruption response behaviors - even in a highly approximate manner - yields significant benefits to the airline, as compared to not accounting for them at all, which is the current state-of-the-art.

Book Operations Research Proceedings 2008

Download or read book Operations Research Proceedings 2008 written by Bernhard Fleischmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-08-04 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international conference \Operations Research 2008", the annual meeting of the German Operations Research Society (GOR), was held at the University of Augsburg on September 3-5, 2008. About 580 p- ticipants from more than 30 countries presented and listened to nearly 400 talks on a broad range of Operations Research. The general subject \Operations Research and Global Business" str- ses the important role of Operations Research in improving decisions in the increasingly complex business processes in a global environment. The plenary speakers Morris A. Cohen (Wharton School) and Bernd Liepert (Executive Board of KUKA Robotics) addressed this subject. Moreover, one of the founders of Operations Research, Saul Gass (U- versity of Maryland), gave the opening speech on the early history of Operations Research. This volume contains 93 papers presented at the conference, selected by the program committee and the section chairs, forming a representative sample of the various subjects dealt with at Operations Research 2008. The volume follows the structure of the conference, with 12 sections, grouped into six \Fields of Applications" and six \Fields of Methods and Theory". This structure in no way means a separation of theory and application, which would be detrimental in Operations Research, but displays the large spectrum of aspects in the focus of the papers. Of course, most papers present theory, methods and applications together.

Download or read book Insect Ecology written by Timothy D. Schowalter and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of Insect Ecology: An Ecosystem Approach provides a modern perspective of insect ecology that integrates two approaches traditionally used to study insect ecology: evolutionary and ecosystem. This integration substantially broadens the scope of insect ecology and contributes to prediction and resolution of the effects of current environmental changes, as these affect and are affected by insects. The third edition includes an updated and expanded synthesis of feedback and interactions between insects and their environment. This updated material and a new chapter on applications of insect ecology to social and environmental issues effectively demonstrates how evolutionary and ecosystem approaches complement each other, with the intent of stimulating further integration of these approaches in experiments that address insect roles in ecosystems. Effective management of ecosystem resources depends on evaluation of the complex, often complementary, effects of insects on ecosystem conditions, as well as insect responses to changing conditions. - Timely revision of a key reference on insect ecology - Full coverage of ecosystem structure and function balanced with essential background on evolutionary aspects - New chapter on applications to issues such as pest management, ecosystem restoration, invasive species and environmental changes - Case studies highlight practical and theoretical applications for topics covered in each chapter

Book A Passenger Recovery Approach for Airline Disruption Management

Download or read book A Passenger Recovery Approach for Airline Disruption Management written by Rodrigo Acuna-Agost and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airlines constantly face disruptions caused by external or internal factors like extreme weather conditions, unavailability of crew members, aircraft breakdowns, or airspace capacity shortages. These disruptions prevent the execution of the schedule. Significant research has been devoted to both aircraft and crew recovery, but the literature on passenger recovery is rather limited. Given a valid flight schedule and a set of disrupted passengers, the passenger recovery problem consists in reaccommodating passengers to their destinations by minimizing the total recovering costs and the impact on passengers. An integer programming formulation is provided. However, large-scale instances cannot be managed through a straight mathematical program. We develop a novel and powerful network pruning algorithm, which allows a drastic reduction of the integer program size for all cases. The experimentation is performed on real-world size instances based on a large-scale public dataset. The results show the overall effectiveness of the method. On average, the reduced model has less than 1% of the total number of decision variables with solutions near to the optimum. We also provide new best-known solutions on 65% of these instances. Additional experiments also show that the method is efficiently combined with aircraft recovery solution systems.
