Improved Flexible Runway Use Modeling: A Multi-Objective Optimization Concerning Pairwise RECAT-EU Separation Minima, Reduced Noise Annoyance and Fuel Consumption at London Heathrow

A minimization of disturbance caused by aircraft noise events and a reduction of fuel consumption during the initial and final phase of flight. These are the two objectives that play an important role in the Flexible Runway Allocation Model. By taking into account fuel consumption alongside noise annoyance, this model enables to analyze and...

Flexible Arrival & Departure Runway Allocation Using Mixed-Integer Linear Programming: A Schiphol Airport Case Study

Runway capacity of a complex runways system can be limited by several factors. Currently, the runway usage at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) is described by a preference list established by multiple stakeholders. It makes an important trade-off between minimizing noise exposure to the environment and maximizing capacity. The existing model...

Innovation of the runway system maintenance strategy at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol using the Value Operations Methodology

The main goal of this research is to create and analyse a series of alternative runway system maintenance strategies for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. For the analysis, a trade-off framework is built to determine whether these alternatives are an improvement over the current strategy. This framework thus assists the decision making process...

Scheurvorming in cementgebonden funderingen op Schiphol

Bij grote vliegtuigbelastingen zoals die voorkomen bij landingsbanen en platformen op Schiphol, wordt een cementgebonden fundering toegepast. Deze fundering dient tot spreiding van de belastingen naar de ondergrond, zodat de spanningen daar niet worden overschreden. Om scheurvorming in de fundering te reguleren wordt na verdichting een rooster...
