Flights Assignment Model of Multiple Airports Based on Game Theory and CDM Mechanism

Abstract

To minimize delay cost of flights in multiple airports, this paper studied flights assignment problem under delay conditions. By considering the delay cost, airport capacity, and the slot exchange between airlines, this paper proposed a novel assignment model based on game theory and CDM mechanism. An improved ant colony algorithm was proposed to solve the flight assignment problem. The case studies showed that the proposed model can optimize the minimum delay cost between airlines under multiairport capacity constraints. The performance of proposed method was better than that of traditional non-slot-exchange method.
