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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...

A simulation scenario based mixed integer programming approach to airline reserve crew scheduling under uncertainty (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bayliss, C. D., de Maere, G., Atkin, J., & Paelinck, M. (2014). A simulation scenario based mixed integer programming approach to airline reserve crew scheduling under uncertainty.

Airlines operate in an uncertain environment for many reasons, for example due to the efects of weather, traffic or crew unavailability (due to delay or sickness). This work focuses on airline reserve crew scheduling under crew absence and journey ti...

A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding (2013)
Journal Article
Ravizza, S., Atkin, J., & Burke, E. K. (2014). A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding. Journal of Scheduling, 17(5), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10951-013-0323-3

In addition to having to handle constantly increasing numbers of aircraft, modern airports also have to address a wide range of environmental regulations and requirements. As airports work closer and closer to their maximal possible capacity, the ope... Read More about A more realistic approach for airport ground movement optimisation with stand holding.

A brief overview on an air transportation system (ATS)
Preprint / Working Paper
Arif, S., Atkin, J., & De Maere, G. (2020). A brief overview on an air transportation system (ATS). Nottingham: University of Nottingham

The worldwide Air Transport System (ATS) has a huge impact on the global economy and is expected to grow annually in size and operational costs. This impact has led the ATS to attract the attention of researchers worldwide. This article aims to provi... Read More about A brief overview on an air transportation system (ATS).

Exploration of the ordering for a sequential airport ground movement algorithm
Book
Ravizza, S., & Atkin, J. A. Exploration of the ordering for a sequential airport ground movement algorithm. School of Computer Science

Guiding aircraft around the airport's surface while ensuring conflict-free routings is an important problem at airports. Sequential routing and scheduling algorithms can be advantageous for providing fast online solutions for decision support systems...
