- Abstract:
This paper presents the development of a novel multiobjective model for optimizing the planning of airport airside expansion projects that provides the capability of minimizing both airport operations disruption cost and total construction cost. The model computations are performed in four main modules: (1) a simulation module that calculates and quantifies the impact of airport construction activities on airport operations, (2) a multiobjective genetic algorithms optimization module that identifies an optimal schedule for airport airside expansion projects, (3) a scheduling module that calculates the start and finish times of each construction activity, and (4) a cost module that computes the total cost of construction-related disruptions in airport operations and the total construction cost. A real-life case study of an airport airside expansion project is analyzed to illustrate the use of the model and highlight its original contributions to the body of knowledge including its novel methodologies for (1) quantifying and minimizing the impact of construction activities on airport operations, (2) analyzing and minimizing the impact of air traffic data and airport operations on total construction cost, and (3) generating a set of optimal construction plans including optimal project start time, activities start time, and weekly and daily work plans for all activities. The results of the case study clearly illustrate the original contributions of the developed model and its novel capabilities that are expected to support airport and construction planners in their efforts to improve the cost-effectiveness and functional performance of airports during airside expansion projects.
