| Abstract: | In this dissertation, integer programming models are applied tocombinatorial problems in air traffic flow management. For the two problemsstudied, models are developed and analyzed both theoretically andcomputationally. This dissertation makes contributions to integerprogramming while providing efficient tools for solving air traffic flowmanagement problems.<p>Currently, a constrained arrival capacity situation at an airport in theUnited States is alleviated by holding inbound aircraft at their departuregates. The ground holding problem (GH) decides which aircraft to hold on theground and for how long.<p>This dissertation examines the GH from twoperspectives. First, the hubbing operations of the airlines are consideredby adding side constraints to GH. These constraints enforce the desire ofthe airlines to temporally group banks of flights. Five basic models andseveral variations of the ground holding problem with banking constraints(GHB) are presented. A particularly strong, facet-indu... |
