Abstract:

This paper addresses the airport flight gate scheduling problem with multiple objectives. The objectives are to maximize the total flight gate preferences, to minimize the number of towing activities, and to minimize the absolute deviation of the new gate assignment from a so-called reference schedule. The problem examined is a multicriteria multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with generalized precedence constraints or time windows. While in previous approaches the problem has been simplified to a single objective counterpart, we tackle it directly by a multicriteria metaheuristic, namely Pareto Simulated Annealing, in order to get a representative approximation of the Pareto front. Possible uncertainty of input data is treated by means of fuzzy numbers
