Matematical Model for Optimizing Staffing of Aircraft Ground Handling

EasyChair Preprint 7603

Abstract

Presented article deals with optimizing staffing of ground handling process for aircraft at international regional airport´s apron. Solution of optimization problem was conducted in two phases. In the first phase of solution, time reserves were found for each activity of ground handling process. Said reserves provide space for creation of delay of any activity which can lead to decrease of number of workers which are needed for realization of whole process. Critical path method was used for the calculation of time reserves. In the second phase, minimal number of workers which are needed for process of ground handling was calculated. Mathematical programming was used for calculation of solution. In the presented article we used mixed linear mathematical model. Optimizing criterium in the mentioned model was total number of workers needed for realization of all activities of ground handling process. Value of optimizing criterium was minimalized. Calculation experiment was conducted in the conditions of international regional airport Ostrava.

Keyphrases: Aviation, Critical Path Method, Ground handling, Operational Research, mathematical programming
