In this research we develop an integer programming model to assist airport authorities to assign common use check-in counters. Due to the many complicated factors that have to be considered in such a model, the problem size is expected to be huge, making its solution difficult and therefore not...

This paper proposes a multiple objective model to help airport authorities to efficiently and effectively solve gate assignment problems. The model is formulated as a multiple objective zero-one integer program. To efficiently solve large-scale problems in practice, we used the weighting method,...

Vehicle fleet routing and timetable setting are essential to the enhancement of an inter-city bus carrier's operating cost, profit, level of service and competitiveness in the market. In past research the average passenger demand has usually served as input in the production of the final fleet...

Fleet routing and flight scheduling are important in airline carrier operations. Ineffective and inefficient fleet routing and flight scheduling will result in a substantial loss of profits. This research aims at developing a framework to help carriers adjust their draft timetables and fleet...

It is essential that airlines efficiently perform aircraft maintenance in order to ensure aviation safety and schedule punctuality. Traditionally, the arrangement of the maintenance manpower supply has been based on staff experience, and has been performed manually following simple rules. This...
