Study On Optimal Scheduling Of The Aircraft Refueling Vehicle

With the development of China'economy and civil aviation industry,the punctuality of the flight is becoming more and more attentioned by the public. Aircraft refueling is a key step of support operations in the parking apron. The operating and scheduling of refueling vehicle relate to if the aircraft refueling can be finished on time,so it is very meaningful to research the scheduling of refueling vehicles.Firstly, this article describes the type, function, process and notes of refueling vehicle. Then we build a mathematical model with minimum refueling cost as the objective function, which approaches to the real simulation of refueling vehicle route as far as possible. Finally, we use ant colony algorithm to solve the problem.The Ant Colony Algorithm is an intelligent algorithm derived from foraging behavior of ants in the nature, with robustness, positive feedback, distributed and parallel computing and other features. It is very suitable for solving complex combination optimization problems. This article will use The Ant Colony Algorithm to solve Aircraft refueling problem.We hope the work can increase the refueling efficiency and decrease the flight delays because of aircraft refueling.
