Thomas Hagspihl, Christian Ruf, Rainer Kolisch (all TUM) and Sebastian Schiffels (Lancaster University) published the paper „Dynamic gate configurations at airports: A network optimization approach” in the European Journal of Operational Research. The paper addresses the dynamic gate configuration problem, where airport gates and passenger boarding bridges have to be dynamically planned for a time horizon of 10 years. The objective is the minimization of the sum of investment and operating costs for the bridges as well as the penalty costs incurred for aircraft that have to be served at the apron instead of the gates. For solving the problem, a mixed-integer programming model together with a column generation based solution heuristic is proposed. Using a case study of Munich Airport, it is shown that on average cost savings of 20% compared to the current state can be yielded. The paper can be obtained from the journal’s website https://lnkd.in/dUu8Bc99 for free, until March 4.
