Abstract
The Taxi Planning studies the aircraft routing and scheduling on the airport ground. This is a dynamic problem, which must be updated almost every time that a new aircraft enters or exits the system. Taxi Planning has been modelled using a linear multicommodity flow network model with side constraints and binary variables. The flow capacity constraints are used to represent the conflicts and competence between aircrafts using a given airport capacity. The “Branch and Bound” and “Fix and Relax” methodologies have been used. The computational tests have been run at the Madrid-Barajas airport, using actual data from the airport traffic.
