Selected problems to support decision making in a simulation environment

The article is devoted to the problem of decision support in a simulation environment prepared for the air traffic control service. The limitations resulting from the functionality of the airport have been presented. In addition, the “integration” problems resulting from the movement of aircraft on the apron have been presented. The article outlines optimization problems such as minimizing the total taxiing time, taking into account the waiting time for the start of the runway, minimizing the time elapsed from the first taxiing to the end of taxiing by the last aircraft or multi-faceted functions, including, for example, penalties for deviations from the schedule of take-off / landing operations, failure to keep the CFMU time slots, or for too long taxiing cycles. The article presents restrictions on taxiing of aircraft, integration with other airport operations, decision problems and applied algorithms, groups of restrictions on taxiing of aircraft, scheduled flight table, dependencies between individual operations, positioning of aircraft.
