Air traffic assignment based on daily population mobility to reduce aircraft noise effects and fuel consumption

The paper first investigates the influence of daily mobility of population on evaluation of aircraft noise effects. Then, a new air traffic assignment model that considers this activity is proposed. The main objective is to reduce the number of people affected by noise via lowering as much as possible the noise exposure level L <sub>den</sub...

Air traffic assignment to reduce population noise exposure and fuel consumption using multi-criteria optimisation

Air traffic assignment to departure and arrival routes has a major impact on the population noise exposure in the vicinity of the airport. In some cases, by choosing the suitable air traffic assignment it is possible to avoid overflying populated areas and reduce number of people affected by noise. However, such an approach almost always leads...
