CORMSIS Seminar "A multi-fidelity modelling approach for airline disruption management using simulation" - Luke Rhodes-Leader (Lancaster University) Event

Event details

Disruption is a serious and common problem for the airline industry. High utilisation of aircraft and airport resources mean that disruptive events can have large knock-on effects for the rest of the schedule. The airline must rearrange their schedule to reduce the impact. The complexity and uncertainty involved in the industry makes this a difficult problem to solve. Many deterministic modelling approaches have been proposed, but these struggle to handle the inherent variability in the problem. This talk will present a multi-fidelity modelling approach to the Aircraft Recovery Problem, combining a deterministic integer program to find initial solutions and a simulation optimisation procedure to improve these solutions.
