The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement (2015)
Journal Article
Stergianos, C., Atkin, J., Schittekat, P., Nordlander, T. E., Gerada, C., & Morvan, H. (in press). The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement

With the constant increase in air traffic, airports are facing capacity problems. Optimisation methods for specific airport processes are starting to be increasingly utilised by many large airports. However, many processes do happen in parallel, and... Read More about The effects of pushback delays on airport ground movement.

Conference Proceeding
Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Atkin, J. (2015). A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem. In N. Pillay, A. P. Engelbrecht, A. Abraham, M. C. du Plessis, V. Snášel, & A. K. Muda (Eds.), Advances in nature and biologically inspired computing: proceedings of the 7th World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing, NaBIC2015, in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, held December 01-03, 2015 (247–259). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-27400-3_22

The workforce scheduling and routing problem (WSRP) is a combinatorial optimisation problem where a set of workers must perform visits to geographically scattered locations. We present a Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) metaheuristic algorithm to... Read More about A variable neighbourhood search for the workforce scheduling and routing problem.

Lessons from building an automated pre-departure sequencer for airports (2015)
Journal Article
Atkin, J. A. D., Karapetyan, D., Parkes, A. J., & Castro-Gutierrez, J. (2015). Lessons from building an automated pre-departure sequencer for airports. Annals of Operations Research, 252(2), 435-453. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-015-1960-z

© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York. Commercial airports are under increasing pressure to comply with the Eurocontrol collaborative decision making (CDM) initiative, to ensure that information is passed between stakeholders, integrate au...

Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Araujo, L., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Baumers, M., Tuck, C., & Hague, R. J. (2015). Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks.

In many cases, the efficient operation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology relies on build volumes being packed effectively. Packing algorithms have been developed in response to this requirement. The configuration of AM build volumes is partic...

Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Pinheiro, R. L., Landa-Silva, D., & Atkin, J. (2015). Analysis of objectives relationships in multiobjective problems using trade-off region maps.

Understanding the relationships between objectives in many-objective optimisation problems is desirable in order to develop more effective algorithms. We propose a techniquefor the analysis and visualisation of complex relationships between many (thr...
