A new multi-commodity flow model to optimize the robustness of the Gate Allocation Problem

The Gate Allocation Problem (GAP) is one of the numerous operational problems that all busy airports have to handle and to optimize every day. In this article, the focus on two important objectives for the GAP: the robustness and the taxiing times. The authors first analyze a basic model which optimizes the robustness of the solution to the GAP and propose a more realistic and compact Multi-commodity Flow Problem model (MFP) to optimize both the robustness and the taxiing times. Based on tests with real data at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport, this new efficient MFP model outperforms the basic one by orders of magnitude.
