HighlightsFirst airport surface movement planning system that considers local emissions.A MILP formulation is presented that allows holding at each taxiway grid node.Local emission reductions of up to 3% can be achieved.The proposed formulation allows a real-time implementation of the planning system.
AbstractThis paper presents a study towards the development of a real-time taxi movement planning system that seeks to optimize the timed taxiing routes of all aircraft on an airport surface, by minimizing the emissions that result from taxiing aircraft operations. To resolve this online planning problem, one of the most commonly employed operations research methods for large-scale problems has been successfully used, viz., mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). The MILP formulation implemented herein permits the planning system to update the total taxi planning every 15 s, allowing to respond to unforeseen disturbances in the traffic flow. Extensive numerical experiments involving a realistic (hub) airport environment bear out that an estimated environmental benefit of 1–3 percent per emission product can be obtained. This research effort clearly demonstrates that a surface movement planning system capable of minimizing the emissions in conjunction with the total taxiing time can be beneficial for airports that face dense surface traffic and stringent environmental requirements.
