Applications of Operations Research in the Air Transport IndustryCynthia Barnhart•Peter Belobaba•Amedeo R.OdoniMassachusetts Institute of Technology,Cambridge,Massachusetts02139cbarnhart@•belobaba@•arodoni@T his paper presents an overview of several important areas of operations research appli-cations in the air transport industry.Speciﬁc areas covered are:the various stages of aircraft and crew schedule planning;revenue management,including overbooking and leg-based and network-based seat inventory management;and the planning and operations of aviation infrastructure(airports and air trafﬁc management).For each of these areas,the paper provides a historical perspective on OR contributions,as well as a brief summary of the state of the art.It also identiﬁes some of the main challenges for future research.1.IntroductionDuring the one hundred years since theﬁrstﬂight of Orville and Wilbur Wright,the air transport indus-try has grown into a major sector of the global econ-omy.Even more importantly,it has become essential to developing and maintaining cultural and economic links among countries and peoples.The airlines alone generated more than$300billion in revenues in2002, a lean year,and carried about1.6billion passengers,a number expected to grow at an annual rate of4%–5% over the next20years according to most forecasts. According to the industry“air transport provides 28million direct,indirect,and induced jobs world-wide”and carries“over40%of the world trade of goods,by value”(Collaborative Forum2003).After spending roughly itsﬁrst40years trying to get off the ground,literally at times,the air trans-port industry has grown by leaps and bounds dur-ing the last60,especially since the advent of the“jet age”in the late1950s.Throughout that second period, operations research(OR)has played a critical role in helping the airline industry and its infrastructure sus-tain high growth rates and make the transition from a novelty that catered to an elite clientele to a service industry for the masses.More than100airlines and air transport associations are currently represented in AGIFORS,the Airline Group of Operational Research Societies,which has been active since1961.Indeed, it is difﬁcult to think of any single sector,other than perhaps military operations,with which operations research has been linked more closely.One of the rea-sons is that airline operations and,more generally, the air transport environment provide natural con-texts for the application of OR techniques and models.A second is that the airline industry has consistently been a leader in the use of information technology and has relied heavily on the intensive use of com-puters over the years.The objective of this paper is to present a histor-ical perspective on the contributions of operations research to the air transport industry,as well as to offer an assessment of some of the challenges that will be confronted next.Any reasonably thorough cover-age of this subject would probably require an entire issue of this journal because the number of OR papers published on air transport easily exceeds1,000over the last50years.In view of the severe constraints on its length,the scope of the paper will instead be conﬁned to a selected subset of air transport-related topics,where operations research has made someof its most signiﬁcant contributions to date.Exam-ples of important topics that are either not covered at all or are touched on peripherally include:avia-tion safety and security,airlineﬂeet planning,airline stafﬁng,airline maintenance planning,aircraft load-ing,and decision support tools for the management of airport operations(e.g.,gate assignments).More-over,the speciﬁc topics and contributions that are highlighted are presented in nonquantitative terms and largely reﬂect the authors’own interests.In addi-tion to the bibliographic references associated with these contributions,other survey papers,which pro-vide additional details and references,are cited when-ever possible.Section2of the paper deals with the classical problems of scheduling,routing,and crew assign-ment in the airline industry.This is a context that is perfectly suited to the use of large-scale,discrete optimization approaches and,indeed,has motivated several methodological and computational develop-ments in this vibrant area of OR over the years.Sec-tion3covers airline revenue management,includ-ing overbooking,ﬂight leg yield management and network revenue maximization.Through a combina-tion of stochastic and optimization models,OR work in this area has generated signiﬁcant additional rev-enues for the airlines ever since the late1980s.More-over,revenue management continues to be aﬁeld in which airlines are vying intensively for competitive advantage.Section4surveys selected applications of OR to the study,planning,and design of the two major pieces of aviation infrastructure,the airports system and the air trafﬁc management(ATM)system. Historically the emphasis here has been on stochas-tic models,as the questions addressed have focused on capacity,delays,and safety under conditions in which the probabilistic characteristics of the input parameters play a dominant role.However,optimiza-tion models,both deterministic and stochastic,have found use in the intensive recent research on air traf-ﬁcﬂow management,a topic also reviewed brieﬂy in§4.Finally,§5summarizes the main conclusions regarding the fundamental challenges faced by future research.2.Aircraft and CrewSchedule PlanningSchedule planning involves designing future aircraft and crew schedules to maximize airline proﬁtabil-ity.This problem poses daunting challenges because it is characterized by numerous complexities,includ-ing a network ofﬂights,differing aircraft types,gate, airport slot and air trafﬁc control restrictions,noise curfews,maintenance requirements,crew work rules, and competitive,dynamic environments in which passenger demands are uncertain and pricing strate-gies are complex.Not surprisingly,no single opti-mization model has been solved,or even formulated, to address this complex design task in its entirety. The problem’s unmanageable size and complexity has resulted in the decomposition of the overall problem into a set of subproblems,often deﬁned as follows:(1)Schedule design:Deﬁning which markets to serve and with what frequency,and how to schedule ﬂights to meet these frequencies.(2)Fleet assignment:Specifying what size aircraft to assign to eachﬂight.(3)Aircraft maintenance routing:Determining how to route aircraft to ensure satisfaction of maintenance requirements.(4)Crew scheduling:Selecting which crews to assign to eachﬂight to minimize crew costs. Suboptimal,yet feasible aircraft and crew plans are constructed by solving the subproblems in order,con-straining the solutions to subsequent problems based on the solutions to preceding problems.Although smaller and simpler than the overall problem,these subproblems are still large-scale and rich in complex-ity.In fact,OR theoreticians and practitioners have been developing models and algorithms to solve them for decades and,in so doing,have had signiﬁcant suc-cesses and impacts.In the late1960s and early1970s,United Airlines, American Airlines,British Airways,and Air France, recognizing the competitive advantage that decision technologies could provide,formed OR groups.These groups grew rapidly,developing decision support tools for a variety of airline applications,including aircraft and crew schedule planning,and in some cases began offering their services to other airlinesas well.According to one executive,the schedule planning system developed at American Airlines and Sabre has generated over$500million in incremen-tal proﬁts annually(Cook2000).Most major airlines around the world have formed similar groups by now.Their name and size,as well as their placement in the corporate structure,vary considerably from air-line to airline.Many consulting companies are also offering products and services in this general area. Other testimonials on the impact of optimization in the airline industry can be found in Yu et al.(2003), Butchers et al.(2001),Wiper et al.(1994),Smith et al. (1992),and Patty et al.(1991).Beginning in the1950s and1960s,early research on airline schedule planning focused on approaches to assign aircraft to routes(Ferguson and Dantzig1956a) and crews to trips(Arabeyre et al.1969).Since then, researchers have continued to work on these prob-lems,reﬁning and expanding the models to better rep-resent the actual problem faced,or developing more sophisticated algorithms to improve the quality of the solutions generated.In the following sections,we provide an overview of progress,highlighting some of the major accom-plishments and describing some of the remaining challenges.2.1.Schedule DesignTheﬂight schedule,specifying theﬂight legs to be ﬂown and the departure time of eachﬂight leg, largely deﬁnes the competitive position of an air-line and is thus a key determinant of airline prof-itability.Designing a proﬁt maximizingﬂight sched-ule,however,is extremely complex.It affects and is affected by essentially all aircraft and crew schedul-ing decisions of the airline,and competing airlines as well.No single model has captured all these inter-dependencies,and even if such a model were for-mulated,it surely would be intractable.Moreover,its input data requirements are impractical,requiring,for example,accurate estimates of itinerary-speciﬁc pas-senger demands,spill costs,and recapture rates. Notwithstanding this complexity,ﬂight schedule design and variants of the problem have been of interest to researchers for many years,with Simp-son(1966),Chan(1972),Soumis et al.(1980),and Etschmaier and Mathaisel(1984)describing early work.Nonetheless,because of the inability of opti-mization models to adequately capture the scope of the design problem,the typical airline practice today is to buildﬂight schedules manually,with limited optimization.With recent research advances,how-ever,this trend is reversing and optimization is begin-ning to play a role.Success has been achieved by deﬁning a simpliﬁed design problem involving only incremental changes to existingﬂight schedules.Berge(1994),Marsten et al.(1996),and Lohatepanont and Barnhart(2001) develop models and algorithms that select from a subset of candidateﬂights legs,those that will be added to or removed from a given(often existing)ﬂight schedule.Their approaches are incremental in that the changes from one publishedﬂight sched-ule to the next are limited.The reported impacts, however,are signiﬁcant.Lohatepanont and Barnhart solve problems at one major airline that contain about 800potentialﬂight legs,65,000itineraries,and165 aircraft,resulting in formulations with30,000–60,000 rows and50,000–65,000columns,and solution times ranging from12hours to more than3days.They report potential improvements in aircraft utilization and signiﬁcant increases in revenue,with an esti-mated impact exceeding$200million at that airline.A nonincremental,clean-slate approach to airline schedule design is described in Armacost et al.(2002). They present models and algorithms to generate (near-)optimalﬂight network designs for express par-cel delivery,and report savings of about7%in oper-ating costs and potential reductions of10%in the requiredﬂeet size.Another schedule design application involving a charter airline is described in Erdmann et al.(1999). By exploiting the special characteristics of the prob-lem,they are able to achieve near-optimal solutions in minutes.Schedule generation,with its important strategic andﬁnancial implications,represents an important area for future research,one rich in opportunity and challenge.The successes to date are justﬁrst steps in addressing the myriad of questions surrounding schedule design.Future research is needed to capture the critical interactions among the various resources of the airline,its competitors,and airports.2.2.Fleet AssignmentWith theﬂight schedule determined,theﬂeet assign-ment problem is toﬁnd the cost-minimizing assign-ment of aircraft types to legs in theﬂight network. Fleeting costs are comprised of:(1)Operating costs:Speciﬁed for eachﬂight leg—aircraft type pair,representing the cost ofﬂying that ﬂight leg with that aircraft type.(2)Spill costs:Measuring the revenue lost when passenger demand for aﬂight leg exceeds the assigned aircraft’s seating capacity.One of the earliest research efforts on airline scheduling was that of Ferguson and Dantzig(1956a). They developed a linear programming model to allo-cate aircraft to roundtrip routes to minimize operat-ing plus spill costs.In a follow-up paper(Ferguson and Dantzig1956a),they expanded their approach to handle uncertain demands.Theseﬁrst models,while applied to simpliﬁedﬂight networks and tiny prob-lems by today’s standards,identiﬁed key problem attributes and launched decades of research onﬂeet assignment.As a result,some30years later,researchers devel-oped the capabilities to solveﬂeeting problems rep-resentative,both in complexity and size,of those truly faced by airlines.Abara(1989)and Hane et al. (1995)formulated theﬂeet assignment problem as a multicommodity networkﬂow problem with side constraints.The underlying network(depicted in Figure1)has:(1)Nodes:Representing the times and locations of ﬂight leg departures and arrivals.(2)Flight arcs and ground arcs:Eachﬂight arc corre-sponds to aﬂight leg with its arrival time adjusted to include the minimum amount of time required on the ground for disembarking and embarking pas-sengers,unloading and loading baggage,and refuel-ing.Ground arcs represent idle aircraft on the ground betweenﬂights.The objective is toﬂow commodities,that is,air-craft types,through the network feasibly and with minimum cost.Side constraints enforce the following requirements and restrictions:(1)Cover:Eachﬂight leg is assigned to exactly one aircraft type.Figure1A Timeline Network Involving Two Airports(2)Aircraft count:Only available aircraft are assigned to the network.(3)Balance:Each aircraft type is assigned to the same number ofﬂight legs arriving at a station as departing that station.Each possible assignment of an aircraft type to aﬂight leg is represented by a binary variable,with value1 if the aircraft type is assigned to thatﬂight leg,and 0otherwise.The resulting formulation for theﬂeet assignment problem of a major airline contains about 20,000rows and30,000columns and can be solved typically within minutes.2.2.1.Impacts and Challenges.Multicommodity ﬂow-basedﬂeet assignment models are widely used by the industry and are credited with achieving signiﬁcant cost savings,measuring in the millions of dollars annually.For example,Rushmeier and Kontogiorgis(1997)report realized savings of at least $15million annually at ingﬂeet assignment models,Wiper et al.(1994)report annual savings of$100million at Delta Airlines,and Abara(1989) reports a1.4%improvement in operating margins at American Airlines.Beyond providing economic beneﬁts,research on ﬂeet assignment problems has led to advanced tech-niques for solving general linear programs.For exam-ple,the node consolidation idea introduced in Hane et al.(1995),which reduced formulation size by more than40%for the problems of one major airline,has been generalized and incorporated into commercial solvers,allowing more efﬁcient solution of large-scale optimization problems.These impressive results notwithstanding,there remain several critical challenges inﬂeet assign-ment.Many of these challenges stem from modeling assumptions that include:(1)Manyﬂeet assignment models assume that the ﬂight schedules repeat daily,even though most air-lines operate different schedules on the weekend. (2)Mostﬂeeting models assumeﬂight leg demand is known and does not vary by day of week,but his-torical data show that day-to-day demand variations are present.(3)Flying times and ground times are typically assumed to be deterministic inﬂeet assignment mod-els;however,congestion on the ground and in the air, weather conditions,and new security practices pro-duce large variations inﬂight and ground times. (4)Mostﬂeet assignment models assume that the number of spilled passengers,and their associated spill costs,can be computed at aﬂight-leg level.In fact,passenger demand,spill,and the revenue asso-ciated with each passenger are itinerary speciﬁc,not ﬂight-leg speciﬁc.As a result,it is possible to estimate leg-speciﬁc spill costs only approximately.To improve on leg-based models,researchers intro-duced itinerary-or origin-destination-(O-D)basedﬂeet assignment approaches(Jacobs et al.1999;Barnhart et al.2002a,b).These approaches consider passen-ger fares,demand,spill,and recapture to be itinerary, notﬂight-leg,speciﬁc.Inaccuracies resulting from the allocation of fares and demands toﬂight legs are thus not introduced into these enhancedﬂeeting ing their O-D-basedﬂeet assignment approach,Jacobs et al.(1999)report annual improve-ments of0.54%–0.77%in revenue compared to those obtained with aﬂight-leg-based model.Similarly,in a case study involving a major U.S.airline,Barn-hart et al.(2002a)report that itinerary-basedﬂeet assignment improves on leg-basedﬂeeting signiﬁ-cantly,with estimated savings ranging from30mil-lion to over100million dollars annually.In aﬁrst step at integratingﬂeet assignment and schedule design decisions,Rexing et al.(2000)simul-taneously assign an aircraft type to eachﬂight leg and select eachﬂight leg’s departure time,allowing retimings of5–20minutes from the current schedule.Departure retiming allows additional aircraft assign-ments that can lead to better matches betweenﬂight leg demand and assigned capacity.The result,accord-ing to Rexing et al.(2000),is reduced operating costs and improved revenue capture,with savings for one major airline of$20–$50million annually.2.3.Aircraft Maintenance RoutingWith schedule design andﬂeet assignment decisions made,theﬂight network decomposes into subnet-works,each one associated with aircraft of a single type.The assignment of individual aircraft toﬂight legs in a subnetwork occurs in the aircraft mainte-nance routing step.The goal is to determine routings, or rotations,for each aircraft in aﬂeet.A routing is a sequence ofﬂight legs,with the destination of one ﬂight leg the same as the origin of the next leg in the sequence.A rotation is a routing that starts and ends at the same location.Each aircraft’s rotation vis-its maintenance stations at regular intervals.More details on the maintenance routing problem are con-tained in Feo and Bard(1989),Gopalan and Talluri (1998),and Clarke et al.(1996b).For restricted mainte-nance routings of three or four days,Gopalan and Tal-luri(1998)and Talluri(1998)describe graph-theoretic approaches to maintenance routing.In general,the aircraft maintenance routing prob-lem can be modeled as a network circulation problem with side constraints.The decision variables corre-spond to sequences(strings)ofﬂight legs,with each sequence beginning and ending at maintenance sta-tions and satisfying the rules governing the maximum time between maintenance.If a string is included in the solution,a single aircraftﬂies eachﬂight in the sequence and then undergoes maintenance.Side con-straints include cover constraints and count constraints. Cover constraints ensure that eachﬂight leg is con-tained in exactly one selected string,and count con-straints limit the number of assigned aircraft to the number available.Additional details are provided in Barnhart et al.(1998a).2.3.1.Impacts and Challenges.Solving theﬂeet assignment problemﬁrst and then the resulting aircraft routing problems can lead to violations of aircraft maintenance requirements.To guaran-tee feasible solutions,particularly in low-frequency,point-to-point networks,researchers have integrated ﬂeet assignment and aircraft routing models,as in Desaulniers et al.(1997)and Barnhart et al.(1998a). This has the effect of substantially expanding the air-craft routing model to include multipleﬂeet types, instead of a single aircraft type.The number of con-straints for large airlines is often less than a few thou-sand,but there are many billions of possible variables. For hub-and-spoke networks,however,the increased size and complexity of this integrated model is rarely warranted.Instead,feasible solutions are typically generated using a slightly modiﬁed sequential solu-tion approach in which an alteredﬂeeting model is ﬁrst solved and then the routing model is solved. The modiﬁedﬂeet assignment model contains pseudo-maintenance constraints to ensure that sufﬁcient num-bers of aircraft of each type are located at mainte-nance stations periodically.In hub-and-spoke networks with banks containing many aircraft together on the ground at the same time,these maintenance con-straints are often sufﬁcient to ensure that the resulting ﬂeet assignment has associated feasible maintenance routings.In addition to the possibility of generating infea-sible solutions,a disadvantage of the sequential solution approach to aircraft and crew planning is that aircraft routing solutions limit possible crew scheduling opportunities,potentially causing crew costs to increase signiﬁcantly.The linkage between aircraft routing and crew scheduling occurs because a crewmember can connect between twoﬂight legs separated by less than the minimum required connec-tion time only if the same aircraft is assigned to both legs.To account for this,Klabjan et al.(2002)swap the order of the problems and solve the crew pair-ing problem before the maintenance routing problem. This approach has the advantage of generating opti-mal crew solutions,but it does not ensure that for the optimized crew solution there is a correspond-ing maintenance-feasible solution.To achieve crew optimality and maintenance feasibility,Cordeau et al. (2000)and Cohn and Barnhart(2003)integrate the basic maintenance routing and crew pairing models.2.4.Crew SchedulingCrew scheduling problems with numerous,com-plex rules,and well-deﬁned costs are particularly amenable to optimization.With so many possible decisions,it is difﬁcult toﬁnd feasible—let alone optimal—solutions manually.Moreover,crews repre-sent the airlines’second highest operating cost after fuel,so even slight improvements in their utilization can translate into signiﬁcant savings.For these reasons,airline crew scheduling has gar-nered considerable attention,with research spanning decades.Arabeyre et al.(1969)published a survey of early research activities on the topic.At that time,because of large problem size and lack of advanced techniques and sufﬁcient computing capa-bilities,heuristics were employed toﬁnd improved crew solutions.Since then,researchers have continued to work on the crew scheduling problem,seeking more efﬁcient solution approaches,expanding models to capture more of the intricacies of the crew scheduling prob-lem,and integrating the crew problem with other airline scheduling problems.Recent detailed descrip-tions of the airline crew scheduling problem are included in the survey papers by Desaulniers et al. (1998),Clarke and Smith(2000)and Barnhart et al. (2003).Even today,the crew scheduling problem is typ-ically broken into two sequentially solved subprob-lems,the crew pairing problem and the crew assignment problem:(1)The crew pairing problem.The problem generates minimum-cost,multiple-day work schedules,called pairings.Regulatory agencies and collective bargain-ing agreements specify the many work rules that deﬁne howﬂight legs can be combined to create fea-sible schedules.Work-rule restrictions include limits on the maximum number of hours worked in a day, the minimum number of hours of rest between work periods,and the maximum time the crew may be away from their home base.Even with these limi-tations,the number of feasible pairings measures in the billions for major U.S.airlines.The cost structure of pairings adds further complexity,with cost typ-ically represented as a nonlinear function ofﬂying time,total elapsed work time,and total time away from base.(2)The crew assignment problem.This problem com-bines these pairings into equitable and efﬁcientmonth-long crew schedules,called bidlines or rosters, assigning them to individual crewmembers.With ros-tering,schedules are constructed for and assigned to speciﬁc individuals,taking into account their par-ticular needs and requests.With bidline generation (a practice commonly used in the United States),a generic set of schedules is constructed and individ-ual employees reveal their relative preferences for these schedules through a bidding process.The spe-ciﬁc assignment of schedules to employees is based on seniority,with the more senior crewmembers most often assigned their preferred schedules.More details on the bidline and rostering problems can be found in Kohl and Karisch(2003),Cappanera and Gallo(2001), Caprara et al.(1998),Christou et al.(1999),Dawid et al.(2001),Day and Ryan(1997),and Gamache et al. (1998).The crew pairing,bidline,and rostering problems can all be cast as set partitioning problems.While sim-ple in form,the set partitioning model is powerful in this context.To illustrate,consider the crew pairing problem.The crew pairing problem has one binary deci-sion variable for each possible pairing,and its objec-tive is to minimize the cost of the selected pairings such that for eachﬂight,exactly one pairing con-taining thatﬂight is chosen.By deﬁning variables as sequences ofﬂight legs,only feasible pairings are considered and explicit formulation of complicated work rules is unnecessary.Moreover,nonlinear pair-ing costs can be computed ofﬂine and captured as a single value.The crew pairing model,is then a set par-titioning problem,with a linear objective function and binary decision variables.The one drawback to this modeling approach is that there are potentially many billions of possible crew pairings,especially in hub-and-spokeﬂight networks with numerous aircraft at hubs at the same time,allowing many possible crew connections.2.4.1.Solving Crew Scheduling Problems.Be-cause of the immense size of airline crew scheduling problems,i.e.,thousands of constraints and billions of variables,researchers initially focused on heuristic methods to achieve solutions.Many of these heuris-tics generate solutions by considering only a relatively small number of pairings.Examples of this strategy can be found in Arabeyre et al.(1969),Anbil et al. (1991),Gershkoff(1989),and Hoffman and Padberg (1993).While producing improved solutions compared to those generated earlier,these heuristics still have a drawback;namely,the quality of their solutions can-not be quantiﬁed relative to an optimal solution. With advances in optimization theory and comput-ing,however,researchers have built enhanced crew scheduling capabilities and designed optimization-based approaches capable of generating provably optimal or near-optimal crew pairing solutions.To generate crew solutions with known optimal-ity bounds,even when variable enumeration is not practical,many researchers have turned to branch-and-price.Branch-and-price,surveyed in Barnhart et al. (1998b),is a smart enumeration technique in which linear programming bounds are generated at each node of a branch-and-bound tree using column gen-eration.Column generation allows very large LPs to be solved without explicitly enumerating all of the variables,or columns.Rather than directly solving the master problem(the problem with all possible columns),a restricted master problem containing only a subset of the original columns is solved.The dual solution to the restricted master problem is used to identify columns with negative reduced cost.These columns are added to the restricted master problem; the restricted master problem is then resolved,and the process is repeated until no negative reduced cost columns can be found.At that point,the algorithm terminates with an optimal solution to the master problem.In the case of the crew pairing problem,negative reduced cost columns are identiﬁed without explic-itly considering each pairing.Instead,all columns are implicitly considered by solving a pricing prob-lem,often formulated as a multilabel,shortest path problem in which some paths correspond to pairings. By exploiting dominance,shortest paths—and hence minimum reduced cost pairings—are identiﬁed with-out examining all paths,or pairings.For a detailed exposition of multilabel,shortest path problems,see Desrochers and Soumis(1988).A particular challenge in branch-and-price algo-rithms is that a standard branching rule based on。

飞机的可替代能源英语作文

飞机的可替代能源英语作文Alternative Energy Sources for Aircraft.The aviation industry is responsible for a significant amount of global carbon emissions, and the search for sustainable alternatives is becoming increasingly important. Several promising technologies have emerged as potential solutions for reducing the environmental impact of air travel.Biofuels:Biofuels are renewable fuels derived from plant materials, such as algae, soybeans, or corn. They can be blended with conventional jet fuel or used as a standalone replacement. Biofuels offer the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80%. However, their production can compete with food crops for land and resources, and their availability is currently limited.Electric Propulsion:Electric propulsion systems use electric motors to power propellers or fans, eliminating the need for conventional jet engines. Electric aircraft can be powered by batteries, fuel cells, or solar panels.
