A duty based approach in solving the aircrew recovery problem

Abstract

This paper eliminates the step of rotation generation to allow the crew recovery problem to be dealt with directly in relation to flight legs. A duty based GA model with a dynamic leg binding mechanism is developed to solve the crew recovery problem. This is about hundred times faster than the traditional process, a feature possible by introducing the original crew schedule as the initial solution. This model is applied to an international airline in Taiwan and the results compared to previous studies.
