- Abstract:
Airport expansion projects often require the presence and movement of construction labor and equipment near critical airport traffic areas. This close proximity between construction activities and airport operations needs to be carefully considered during the planning of construction site layouts in order to minimize and eliminate all potential construction-related hazards to aviation safety. This paper presents the development of a multiobjective optimization model for planning airport construction site layouts that is capable of minimizing construction-related hazards and minimizing site layout costs, simultaneously. The model incorporates newly developed optimization functions and metrics that enable: (1) maximizing the control of hazardous construction debris near airport traffic areas; (2) minimizing site layout costs including the travel cost of construction resources and the cost of debris control measures on airport sites; and (3) satisfying all operational safety constraints required by the federal aviation administration as well as other practical site layout constraints. The model is implemented using a multiobjective genetic algorithm and an application example is analyzed to demonstrate the use of the model and its capabilities in optimizing construction site layouts in airport expansion projects.
