Performance Evaluation of Multiflight Ground Handling Process

Abstract

The ever-increasing high density of flights arouses an urgent requirement to improve the effectiveness and performance of ground handling in airport operation. The implementation of coordinated airport decision-making quantifies the ground handling process into a series of key milestone nodes, which is more conducive for operators to reduce resource consumption and flight de-lays. An innovative performance evaluation method for the multiflight ground handling process is proposed based on shared information of milestone nodes in the ground handling. A dynamic performance evaluation model is established, which should superimpose the performance evaluation results of the single-flight ground handling process. Meanwhile, the indicators and weights of the single-flight performance evaluation are obtained by combining the ground handling process prediction and expected value. As time evolves, a matrix method for the multiflight ground handling performance evaluation is proposed to combine the logic and evolution of the process. It is shown that the average prediction accuracy of single-flight ground handling process nodes can be in-creased to 87.63%. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the objectivity, effectiveness and dynamics of the proposed approach can be the basis for short-term tactics in airport.
