In this paper, we present an aggregate mathematical model for air traffic flow management (ATFM), a problem of great concern both in Europe and in the United States. The model extends previous approaches by simultaneously taking into account three important issues: (i) the model explicitly...

We present a model to describe the inbound air traffic over a congested hub and we show that this model gives a very accurate description of the traffic by comparing our theoretical distribution of the queue with the actual distribution observed at Heathrow airport. We also discuss the...

This paper presents a binary optimization framework for modeling dynamic resource allocation problems. The framework (a) allows modeling flexibility by incorporating different objective functions, alternative sets of resources and fairness controls; (b) is widely applicable in a variety of...
