Abstract
We are concerned with supporting the air traffic controller in the management of the inbound traffic. We precisely focus on the careful modeling of the Aircraft Landing Problem (ALP) within an Air Traffic Control (ATC) system for an airport which may include a single or multiple runways. We propose a new detailed Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) formulation in which we break down the main problem into simultaneously three sub problems, the scheduling and sequencing of aircraft approaches and landings on the TMA resources (air segment(s) and runway(s)), their assignment and the control practice. Our achievement is the model solution using CPLEX and Eclipse. Computational results show the efficiency of the proposed approach.
