Airport Surface Operation Cost Optimization Results

Presenting experimental results from a two-stage optimization framework for airport surface operations. It compares taxiing costs and total costs between scenarios with and without a conflict constraint, showing a 17.8% reduction in taxiing costs.

Use Cases

• Compare optimized total cost and taxiing costs between scenarios with and without a negative feedback mechanism.
• Analyze the relationship between departure intervals and the generation of multiple taxiing configurations.
• Evaluate the economic impact of the dynamic pushback slot control strategy on operational costs.

Strengths

• Results demonstrate a specific 17.8% reduction in taxiing costs compared to a baseline.
• The proposed approach achieves a quantified average cost saving of USD 1,412.71.
• Experimental results show a concrete optimized total cost of USD 8,163.44.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a summary of results rather than raw operational data.
• No column definitions or sample data are provided, making the data structure and granularity unclear.
• The dataset's origin is a single study, limiting generalizability to other airport contexts.
