  • This paper suggests heuristic algorithm to obtain optimal solution of minimum number of delay aircraft in airport arrivals/departures problem. This problem can be solved only mathematical optimization method. The proposed algorithm selects the minimum delays capacity in various airport capacities for number of arrivals/departures aircraft in $i^{th}$ time interval (15 minutes). In details, we apply median selection method and left-right selection method. This algorithm can be get the optimal solution of minimum number of delay aircraft for sixes actual experimental data.

  • Airport operations are well-known as a bottleneck in the air traffic system, putting growing pressure on the world's busiest airports to schedule arrivals and departures as efficiently as possible. Effective planning and control are essential for increasing airport efficiency and reducing aircraft delays. Many algorithms for controlling the arrival/departure queuing area are handled, considering it as first in first out queues, where any available aircraft can take off regardless of its relative sequence with other aircraft. In the suggested system, this problem was compared to the problem of scheduling n tasks (plane takeoffs and landings) on a multiple machine (runways). The proposed technique decreases delays (via efficient runway allocation or allowing aircraft to be expedited to reach a scheduled time) to enhance runway capacity and decrease delays. The aircraft scheduling problem entails arranging aircraft on available runways and scheduling their landings and departures while considering any operational constraints. The topic of this work is the scheduling of aircraft landings and takeoffs on multiple runways. Each aircraft's takeoff and landing schedules have time windows, as well as minimum separation intervals between landings and takeoffs. We present and evaluate a variety of comprehensive concepts and solutions for scheduling aircraft arrival and departure times, intending to reduce delays relative to scheduled times. When compared to First Come First Serve scheduling algorithm, the suggested strategy is usually successful in reducing the average waiting time and average tardiness while optimizing runway use.

  • In this paper, we proposed new solution procedure of the air defense missile allocation problem. In order to find the optimal location of missile, we formulated a simple mathematical model maximizing the kill probability of enemy air threat including aircraft and missile. To find the Kill probability, we developed a new procedure using actual experimental data in the mathematical model. Actual experimental data mean real characteristic factor, which was acquired when the missile had been developed through missile fire experiment. The result of this study can offer practical solution for missile allocation and the methodology in this study can be used to the decision making for the optimal military facility allocation.

  • This paper deals with assigning defensive counter air aircraft to the moving target in the air. Recently various kinds of allocation problems have been researched for fixed targets using offensive aircrafts. However, the counter air allocation problems for attacking aircrafts with considering the time and the threat have not been studied much. The main objective of this study is to mininize the time to intercept and the threat values simultaneously by using goal programming. The optimal solution by using an integer goal programming and a branch and bound algorithm is found and analyzed. By applying this model to real situation, we expect to reduce the time and number of sorties for destroying enemy aircraft, respectively.

  • This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of various control allocation methods applied on DURUMI-II UAV system. In order to implement control allocation scheme to aircraft control system, control system can be designed through two step design procedure. The first step is to design a baseline control system for an aircraft without consideration of control surface failure. The second step is to design a control allocator that maps the total control command on the individual control surfaces. In this paper, several control allocation methods such as Psuedo-Inverse CA method, Direct CA method, and Optimization CA method are implemented and integrated to the baseline flight control system of DURUMI-II UAV. The performance of these control allocation methods is evaluated by nonlinear simulation under the flight scenario of control surface failure.

  • This paper investigates an aircraft-target assignment problem in consideration of deconfliction. The aircraft-target assignment problem is the problem to assign available aircrafts and weapons to targets that should be attacked, where the objective function is to minimize the total expected damage of aircrafts. Deconfliction is the way of dividing airspaces for aircraft flight to ensure the safety while performing the mission. In this paper, mixed integer programming model is suggested, where it considers deconfliction between aircrafts. However, the suggested MIP model is non-linear and limited to get solution for large size problem. The 2-phase decomposition model is suggested for efficiency and computation, where in the first phase target area is divided into sectors for deconfliction and in the second phase aircrafts and weapons are assigned to given targets for minimizing expected damage of aircraft. The proposed decomposition model shows outperforms the model developed for comparison in the computational experiment.

  • Reliability and maintainability allocation in the analysis of the system's design, with the objective of planning and installing the individual components in such a way that the system performance is achieved. This paper has been made to solve an important task in reliability management of manufacturing systems within the general objective being to increase productivity while maintaining costs low. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide an analytical approach to determine an optimal reliability and maintainability allocation, trading off among system performance and parts investment costs. Two important considerations will be addressed in this regard : (ⅰ) determine the reliability and maintainability allocation of parts which maximizes a given production index, having fixed the total cost of investments ; and (ⅱ) determine the reliability and maintainability allocation which minimizes the total cost of investments, having fixed a minimum acceptable level of productivity. The procedure proposed in this paper is able to provide to managers and designers useful indications on the reliability and maintainability characteristics of parts in series -parallel systems. And this heuristic model is a decision support tool for contractors who are involved in large scale design projects such as ship and aircraft design. Numerical examples prove that an approximate expression of the average throughput rate is sufficiently accurate to be used in a numerical optimization method.

  • Redundancy-reliability allocation problems in multi-stage series-parallel systems are addressed in this study. Fuzzy programming techniques are proposed for finding satisfactory solutions. First, a multi-objective programming model is formulated for simultaneously maximizing system reliability and minimizing system total cost. Due to the nature of uncertainty in the problem, the fuzzy set theory and technique are used to convert the deterministic multi-objective programming model into a fuzzy nonlinear programming problem. A heuristic method is developed to get satisfactory solutions for the fuzzy nonlinear programming problem. A Pareto optimal solution is found with maximal degree of satisfaction from the interception area of fuzzy sets. A case study that is related to the electronic control unit installed on aircraft engine over-speed protection system is used to implement the developed approach. Results suggest that the developed fuzzy multi-objective programming model can effectively resolve the fuzzy and uncertain problem when design goals and constraints are not clearly confirmed at the initial conceptual design phase.

  • This paper addresses a control allocation method for fault-tolerant control by redistributing redundant control surfaces. The proposed method is based on a classical daisy chain approach for the compensation of faulty actuators. The existing daisy chain method calculates a desired moment according to a number of actuator groups. However, this method has a significant limitation; that is, any faulty actuator belonging to the last actuator group cannot be compensated, since there is no more redundant actuator group that can be used to generate the required moments. In this paper, a modified daisy chain method is proposed to overcome this problem. Using the proposed method, the order of actuator groups is readjusted so that actuator groups containing any faulty actuator are always placed in an upper group instead of the last one. A set of simulation results with an F-18 HARV aircraft demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance than the existing daisy chain method.
