This work introduces taxi planning optimization (TPO) as a methodology to guide airport surface management operations. The optimization model represents competing aircraft using limited ground resources. TPO improves aircraft taxiing routes and their schedule in situations of congestion, minimizing overall taxiing time (TT), and helping taxi planners to meet prespecified goals such as compliance with take-off windows, TT limits, and trajectory conflicts. By considering all simultaneous trajectories during a given planning horizon, TPO's estimation of TT from the stand to the runways improves over current planning methods. The operational optimization model is a large-scale space-time multi-commodity network with capacity constraints. In addition to its natural use as a real-time taxi planning tool, a number of TPO variants can be used for design purposes, such as expansion of new infrastructure. TPO is demonstrated using Madrid-Barajas as test airport.
