Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 土木工程研究所 === 89 === In general, there are two categories of incidences, by airside and groundside, that affect the operations of airport common-use counters. The former directly affect flight take-offs, such as temporary closure of runways and gates due to bad climate or other incidences. The latter occur inside terminals, for example, the temporary breaking-down of check-in counters. When these incidences happen, the airport staffs usually have to reassign some departure flights to some common-use counters in real-time. When such reassignments are preformed, certain cost or decreased level of service will be imposed on passengers, airlines or airport authorities. Therefore, it is essential for airport authorities to efficiently and effectively reassigns flights to common-use counters in real-time following airport incidences to maintain the levels of service and the cost.
In the past, there has none systematic analysis or research to the reassignment of flights to common-use counters following incidences in real-time. The reassignment in practice is manually performed, which is both inefficient and ineffective, especially when the problem scale is enlarged today. Hence, this research considers the objective of minimizing total inconsistency of flights to common-use counters, coupled with related operating constraints, to develop an integer programming model and solve it by using the mathematical programming solver, CPLEX. To test how well the proposed model may be applied in real world, we perform a case study concerning the operations of a major airport in Taiwan. The results show the model could be useful.
