|---|---|---|
This paper presents a decision support tool for airlines schedule recovery during irregular operations. The tool provides airlines control centers with the capability to develop a proactive schedule recovery plan that integrates all flight resources. A rolling horizon modeling framework, which integrates a schedule simulation model and a resource assignment optimization model, is adopted for this tool. The schedule simulation model projects the list of disrupted flights in the system as function of the severity of anticipated disruptions. The optimization model examines possible resource swapping and flight re-quoting to generate an efficient schedule recovery plan that minimizes flight delays and cancellations. A detailed example that illustrates the application of the tool to recover the schedule of a major US air-carrier during a hypothetical ground delay program scenario is presented. The results of several experiments that illustrates overall model performance in terms of solution quality and computation experience are also given. |
