航空公司正在经历非常困难的财政时期，这是由激烈的竞争和目前的高油价引发的。为了保持竞争力，他们必须在控制的领域实现高效率。航空公司在飞机飞行时开始产生收入。减少飞机周转时间是一个重要的目标，乘客登机是一个主要的度量。本文研究了乘客之间的干扰，导致延误登机时间的单通道飞机。它提供了一个新的混合整数线性规划，以尽量减少这些干扰。然后，我们将此数学模型应用于一架空客-320飞机。基于乘客登机率生成替代有效解决方案。采用仿真模型来识别适当的登机模式。推荐的登机模式提供了比其他策略更少的干扰，以及容纳相邻的乘客一起登机。(c)2006 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
Airlines are going through very difficult times financially which has been triggered by fierce competition and current high fuel prices. To stay competitive, it is absolutely essential that they achieve high efficiency in the areas that have control over. Airlines start generating revenues while their aircraft are flying. Reducing aircraft turn-around times is an important goal with passenger boarding being a major metric.This paper examines the interferences among the passengers that cause delays in boarding times for a single aisle aircraft. It offers a new mixed integer linear program to minimize these interferences. We then apply this mathematical model to an Airbus-320 aircraft. Alternative efficient solutions are generated based on the rate of passenger boarding. A simulation model is adopted to identify appropriate boarding patterns. The recommended boarding patterns provide a lower number of interferences than other strategies as well as accommodating neighboring passengers to board together. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
