Civil airports are not only the source, exchange and target nodes of airtransportation networks, but also the important infrastructures of nations and areas.Even under the heavy pressure of their small capacities and poor equipments whichcan hardly ensure the rapid growth of civil aviation, airports all over the world have tofocus on the steady aviation safeguard, better service and reasonable operation benefit.The issue of how an airport can improve its services and get more incomes by meansof optimizing the resource scheduling must be deeply investigated and urgentlyresolved.To provide the airport operation scheduling with theory and method supports,the main operation workflows of an airport has been reviewed in this dissertation, andthe key process of the operation scheduling, that is, Aircraft Stands Assignment (ASA)and optimization technology, has been studied based on System Optimization, SystemSimulation and Artificial Intelligence.The main contents and contributions of the dissertation are as follows:1. After reviewing on the literatures of airport operation scheduling, the currentsituations and some limitations of the previous researching results on ASAoptimization have been analyzed, and thus the main research topics of the dissertationhave been introduced.2. By examining the constrains and objectives of an actual ASA process, anASA optimization model with simplified hypotheses is given. The model is based onmultiobject quadric integer programming with the minimization of total walkingdistances of all passengers in the airport as the first objective, and the maximization ofthe airport income from equipment usage as the second one.3. According to the basic theory and method of Tuba Search, an ASAoptimization algorithm has been proposed, for which a new concept of the distancebetween two resolutions has been introduced, as well as the "Spider" and "Tadpole" candidate solution set structures with relating search methods have also beenpresented which can efficiently execute both Intensification Search and DiversificationSearch.4. To establish a platform of ASA simulation and optimization, a systemsimulation based on random event model has been introduced. The computingexperimentations have been carried out on the platform which shows the feasibilityand efficiency of the ASA optimization model and algorithm proposed above.5. A deducing mechanics based on rulers has been set up as an aided method tomanage the additional constrains. Further more, the implementation technology ofASA knowledge management and deducing machine has also been discussed.6. The strategies and objectives of ASA Disrupt Management have beenproposed with the emergencies and their influences to the actual ASA process to beanalyzed, for which the ASA Robust Scheduling and Recovery Strategy has beendiscussed as well. Finally, the technical routes for upgrading the Static Optimization ofASA to Dynamic Optimization are also presented.
