环境问题在许多领域都发挥着重要作用。航空运输业尤其如此。在这方面相对未被探索的一个领域是飞机在机场表面的地面移动问题。飞机必须从登机口进入跑道，反之亦然。研究的一个关键领域是，纯粹减少滑行时间是否能最大程度地改善燃油消耗和环境影响，还是避免多个加速阶段也很重要。本文提出了一种新的多目标方法来分析滑行时间和滑行过程中燃油消耗之间的权衡关系。该方法采用基于图的航路算法和种群自适应免疫算法相结合的方法来发现飞机的不同航速分布。对欧洲一个枢纽机场的数据进行的分析显示，这种新方法的表现令人印象深刻。此外，研究表明，滑行时间与燃油消耗之间的权衡对所使用的燃油相关目标函数非常敏感。
Environmental issues play an important role across many sectors. This is particularly the case in the air transportation industry. One area which has remained relatively unexplored in this context is the ground movement problem for aircraft on the airport's surface. Aircraft have to be routed from a gate to a runway and vice versa and a key area of study is whether fuel burn and environmental impact improvements will best result from purely minimising the taxi times or whether it is also important to avoid multiple acceleration phases. This paper presents a newly developed multi-objective approach for analysing the trade-off between taxi time and fuel consumption during taxiing. The approach consists of a combination of a graph-based routing algorithm and a population adaptive immune algorithm to discover different speed profiles of aircraft. Analysis with data from a European hub airport has highlighted the impressive performance of the new approach. Furthermore, it is shown that the trade-off between taxi time and fuel consumption is very sensitive to the fuel-related objective function which is used.
