OPTIMUM LANDING ORDER OF PLANES
Abstract
The report considers optimization of landing order with respect to runway acceptance rate and total delay for planes desiring to land at the same one-runway airport. Two cases determined by the character of the minimum landing separation are recognized: (a) constant landing separation time and (b) variable landing separation time. For constant separation time, it is shown that the first-come-first-served landing order both maximizes the runway acceptance rate and minimizes the total delay. For variable separation time, a class of permutations allowing maximum runway acceptance rate is defined and rules for selecting a permutation yielding minimum total delay are given. (Author)
