This book provides ways for air traffic managers to better address airport capacity uncertainty in the airspace system. In particular, it discusses decision-making algorithms under uncertainty in ground delay programs (GDPs) for a single destination airport.
The book proposes methods to model stochasticity in GDP operations and mechanisms to respond to conditions dynamically such that the overall system performance is optimized. The single airport ground holding problem with capacity uncertainty is modeled using two approaches:
multi-stage stochastic integer programs with probabilistic...
